D. W. WASHBURN
Written by Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller
As recorded by the Monkees, released as a single, 1968.

"D. W. Washburn," I heard a sweet voice say,
"D. W. Washburn, this is your lucky day.
A hot bowl of soup is waiting, a hot bowl of soup and a shave.
D. W. Washburn, we've picked you to save.

"Can't you hear the flugelhorn? Can't you hear the bell?
Even you can be reborn, you naughty ne'er-do-well.
If you don't get out of that gutter before the next big rain,
D. W. Washburn, you're gonna wash right down the drain.

"Up! Up! Come on, get up!
Get up out of your street!
If you can only make it from your hands to your knees,
I know you can make it to your feet."

"D. W. Washburn," I said to myself,
"D. W. Washburn, why don't you go save somebody else?
Well, I got no job to go to; I don't work and I don't get paid.
I got a bottle of wine; I'm feelin' fine, and I believe I've got it made.

"I'd like to thank all you good people for comin' to my aid,
But I'm D. W. Washburn; I do believe I got it made.

"I do believe I got it made." [Repeat and fade.]
