So much for the city
Tell me that you'll dance to the end
Just tell me that you'll dance to the end

Hey, hey you're the Monkees
And people said you monkeyed around
But nobody's listening up

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby, baby, please don't go
Ah, baby, baby, please don't go

So much for the street lights
They're never gonna guide you home
No they're never gonna guide you home

Down at the steam boat show, yeah
All the kids start spittin'
I guess it didn't live up to the billing

Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Baby baby please don't go
Ah, baby, baby, please don't go

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Hangin' around, lettin' your old man down
Just don't go back to Big Sur
Ah, baby, baby, please don't go
Ah, baby, baby, please don't go

    I submitted this as The Thrills, but then SongMeanings.net changed it to The Thrills (Boston Rock 80s) and added The Thrills (Ireland 00s)....but placed this song under the 80s group. This should be moved to the current Irish Thrills.
