The Mamas & The Papas

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson Ronald White

Producer: Lou Adler

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May

I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl

I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the tree

I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, I'm talkin' 'bout my girl

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I don't need money, fortune or fame
I got all the riches, baby, that one man can claim

I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, talkin' 'bout my girl

Got so much honey, the bees envy me
I got a sweeter song than the birds in the tree

Don't need no fortune, no money or fame
'Cause when I got my girl, I've got all the riches one man can claim
Talkin' 'bout my girl, yeah my girl

The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock and psychedelic pop vocal group who recorded and performed on 1965–1968. They’re a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the ‘60s—the hippie movement.

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The Mamas & The Papas released a total of five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. These hit singles were:
