Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for May 20, 2024

Ground control to Major Tom…

Chip: 7A

Davy: What number is this, Chip?

Other 3 Monkees: 7-A!

Davy: OK!, know what I mean, like don’t get excited man. It’s ‘cos I’m short, I know

Oh, I could hide ’neath the wings

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 shavin’ 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

Oh, and our good times starts 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

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

The last No. 1 song by the American answer to The Beatles. it was written by the very prolific ex-Kingston Trio member John Stewart. It was recorded in 1967, and can be found on the album The Birds, The Bees, & The Monkees. It was one of the last mono albums to be produced, and an original version is a collector’s item now. “Daydream Believer” was certified gold by the RIAA on November 14, 1967.

I added “The Birds, The Bees, & The Monkees” to my Spotify account!

Dreamships need routine exercise.

Enjoy your daydream, Pasquale.

we live in the woods too, not my first thought to take a nap out there, my wake up to something you were not counting on

Summer afternoons are for dreaming big.
