The Monkees

The Monkees came to NBC,
Aired '66 to '68,
And fifty years later still be
Timeless Monkeemania great.
On the coattails of Beatles rave,
Came to the fore the Pre-Fab Four.
To NBC The Monkees gave
Censorship annoyance galore.
One episode was about hell,
A word on T.V. not to peep.
Over again The Monkees tell
The taboo word to network bleep.

The Monkees was, The Monkees is
Still selling strong The Monkees biz.
