Artist/Band: The Monkees
Lyrics for Song: Goin Down
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Monkees



Sock it to me.



Floatin down the river

With a saturated liver

And I wish I could forgive her

But I do believe she meant it

When she told me to forget it

And I bet she will regret it

When they find me in the morning wet and drowned

And words gets round

Goin down

Goin down



Comin up for air

It's pretty stuffy under there

I'd like to say I didn't care

But I forgot to leave a note

And it's so hard to stay afloat

I'm soakin wet without a boat

And I knew I should have taken off my shoes

It's front page news

Goin down

I'm goin down



Hep hep,

hep hep,

hep,

hep hep,

hep hep



I wish I had another drink

It wouldn't be so hard to sink

I should have taken time to think

Beside I got the picture straight

She musta had another date

I didn't need this extra weight

I wish that I could see the way to shore

Don't want no more

Goin down

Goin down



Now I see the life I lead

I slept it all away in bed

I shoulda learned to swim instead

Now it's really got me stumped

I can't believe or why I jumped

I'd like to get my tummy pumped

I can't believe they drink this stuff in town

This dirty brown

Goin down

Goin down



I wish I'd looked before I leaped

I didn't know it was so deep

Been down so far I don't get wet

I haven't touched the bottom yet

This river scene is gettin old

I'm hungry sleepy wet and cold

She told me to forget it nice

I should have taken her advice

I only wanna go on home

I'd gladly leave that girl alone

What a way to spend the night

If I don't drown I'll die of fright

My pappy taught me how to float

But I can't swim a single note

He threw me in to teach me how

And I stayed there floating like a mama cow

And now I'm floating way down stream

I know this has to be a dream

If I could find my way to shore

I'd never ever do this any more

I'll give you three, I've been down nine

I'm goin down just one more time

Goin Down



I'm goin down...etc



Now the sky is gettin' light

And everything will be alright

Think I finally got the knack

Just floatin' here lazy on my back

I never really liked that town

I think I'll ride the river down

Just movin' slow and floatin' free

There's a river swingin' under me.

Waving back to the folks on shore

I should have thought of this before

I'm floatin' on down to New Orleans

Goin' to pick up on some swingin' scenes

I know I'll know a better day

I'll go down groovin' all the way

Goin' down

Goin' down
