  1. The full lyrics to Soul-Writer's Birthday:
    Lyrics by Michael Nesmith
    While riding on a donkey with a bright golden mane
    I saw a prima donna who was acting quite insane
    Calling out for all to hear a name that made no sense
    While holding up for all to see a broken circus tent

    It was Soul Writer’s Birthday
    On the 25th of June

    I saw brightly colored neon lights trickle through his hair
    Casting weirdly shaped shadows, here, there, and everywhere
    Leading little children through the park, watching out for rain
    Telling fairytales and preaching love, amongst some other things

    It was Soul Writer’s Birthday
    On the 25th of June
    It was Soul Writer’s Birthday
    On the 25th of June

    He’s living in a canyon house with cats and whirlybirds
    Strung out behind incredible as his favorite word
    Looking down and growing up with one eye partly blind
    Eating chocolate covered grass and loving porcupines

    It was Soul Writer’s Birthday
    On the 25th of June
    It was Soul Writer’s Birthday
    On the 25th of June

  2. Interesting lyrics! June 25th, 1967 was the day of the "Our World" broadcast with "All You Need Is Love." ("here, there, and everywhere"?) And also, "He’s living in a canyon house with cats and whirlybirds" - that almost sounds like a reference to Micky.
