Monterey Songtext
von Eric Burdon & The Animals

The people came and listened
Some of them came and played
Others gave flowers away
Religion was being born
Down in Monterrey

Young gods smiled upon the crowd
Their music being born of love
Children danced night and day
Religion was being born
Down in Monterrey
Monterrey babe

The Byrds and the Airplane
Did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar′s
Music made me cry

The Who exploded
Into fired light (yeah)
Hugh Masekelas music
Was black as night


The Grateful Dead
Blew everybody's mind
Jimi Hendrix, baby
Believe me
Set the world on fire, yeah!

His majesty
Prince Jones smiled as he
Moved through the crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars
Were groovin′ real loud, yeah

If you wanna find the truth in life
Don't pass music by
And you know
I would not lie
No, I would not lie
I would not lie
I would not lie
I would not lie

Monterrey

Alright!


Three days of understanding
Of moving with one another
Even the cops grooved with us
Do you believe me?
Yeah!

Down in Monterrey
Down in Monterrey, yeah
Down in Monterrey
Down in Monterrey, yeah

I think that maybe I'm dreamin′!

Monterrey!

Monterrey-yeah!

Down in Monterrey

Did you hear what I said?

Down in Monterrey

That some music

Monterrey
I said
Monterrey, Monterrey, Monterrey
Yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey
A-ay, a-ay, a-ay-a-ay
