The Monkees-Mommy and Daddy

MOMMY AND DADDY
Sung by Micky Dolenz

Ask your mommy and daddy, what happened to the indian?
Ask your mommy and daddy to tell you where you really came from
Then mommy and daddy will probably turn and quickly walk away
Then ask your mommy and daddy who really killed j.f.k
Wa ta tick it ta too too...

Ask your mommy if she really gets off on all her - all her pills
Ask your daddy, why doesnt that soldier care who he kills?
After theyve put you to sleep and tucked you safely down in your bed
Whisper mommy and daddy,
Would it matter if the bullet went through my head?
If it was my blood spilling on the kitchen floor
If it was my blood, mommy, would you care a little more?
Dont be surprised when they turn and start to cry
And tell your mommy and daddy, tell your mommy and daddy
Scream it to your mommy and daddy
Theyre living in a lie, a lie, a lie
Its all a lie, a lie, a lie
A lie, a lie...

these lyrics are so much better than the sanitized ones released on the single. I think it's a pretty great song.

@hwymanric10 Aggree!

@beatlefan157333 Actually, Micky wrote this song. This is the real version that wasn't made public until Rhino made Music Box, I believe. Yeah, they were so much better when stuff wasn't writen for them and they spoke for themselves. They weren't as popular then, though.

"Then ask your mommy and daddy who really killed J.F.K."

Great!

@NonaSuymo13 Well, what I was saying was for the general public, they became less popular.

[NonaSuymo13]

@Patchie97 They would've been popular for me

@Patchie97 Music box had the less cool version. I never heard this one until the other day :-P

[Patchie97]

@Chelseaness09 Then it has to be Missing Links...huh...really thought it was Music Box. Shows how much I know. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :P
