Gotta be famous in L.A
Charlie found a way
Those were crazy times
Very crazy times

Davy Jones got the part
Davy Jones got the part
Charlie's ego torn apart
The world against him from the start
Rejected
Once again

Charlie just wanted to be
A famous T.V. Monkee
He was rejected once again
Blew a fuse in his brain

Davy Jones got the part
Davy Jones got the part
Charlie's ego torn apart
The world against him from the start
Rejected
Once again

You gotta be famous in L.A
Charlie surely found a way
Those were crazy times
Very, very crazy times

Davy Jones got the part
Davy Jones got the part
Charlie's ego torn apart
The world against him from the start
Rejected
Once again

Oh no-no-no
Oh no-no-no
Oh no-no-no
Oh no-no-no
Oh no-no-no
Oh no-no-no
