[Intro: Chip Douglas, Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork]
7A
What number is this, Chip?
7A!
Ok, know what I mean, like don't get excited man, it's 'cause I'm short, I know
[Verse 1: Davy Jones]
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But six rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
My shavin' razor's cold and it stings
[Chorus]
Cheer up, sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean
To a daydream believer
And a homecoming queen?
[Verse 2: Davy Jones]
You once thought of me
As a white knight on his steed
Now you know how happy I can be
Oh, and our good time starts and ends
Without dollar one to spend
But how much, baby, do we really need?
[Chorus]
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?
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
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
