Hey, hey, we're the Monkees
Song title: Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)
Lyric sample: "I've seen/All kinds of sorrow/Wish I'd/Only known one/Look out/Here comes tomorrow/Oh, how I wish tomorrow would never come"
Theme in a nutshell: Oh, crap, what's going to happen when my numerous girlfriends find out about each other?
Song title: Cuddly Toy
Lyric sample: "You're not the only cuddly toy/That was ever enjoyed/By any boy/You're not the only choo-choo train/That was left out in the rain/The day after Santa came/You're not the only cherry delight/That was left in the night/And gave up without a fight"
Theme in a nutshell: Quit your whining, whore, I've dumped better girls than you.
Song title: Salesman
Lyric sample: "Salesman where you gonna go to sell all of your goods today/Yup, salesman, gonna walk along the street, see friends along the way/Hey, salesman, with your wooden cart that you push along while you walk/Hey, salesman with your secret goods that you push while you talk"
Theme in a nutshell: Some people will sell anything, and do it with a smile.
