Daydream Believer
The Monkees · More Music From The Breeze [2013]
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shaving razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Whoa, and our good times start and end
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen
