"(Theme from) The Monkees"

Early this morning I was thinking about "(Theme from) The Monkees" and realized something about the shape of the melody for the chorus (except for the chorus before the instrumental section, which is a bit different).  The melody in each phrase is fairly conjunct (I think the biggest interval is a major third), and most of the phrases ascend, but at the end of the line "To put anybody down," there's a falling fourth (D to A), so that "down" is represented musically.
