Eric Burdon & The Animals

Songtekst

The people came and listened
Some of them came and played
Others gave flowers away
Yes, they did
Down in Monterey
Down in Monterey

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

The Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into violent light
Hugh Masekela's 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 among the crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars were groovin' real loud, yeah

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

Alright

Three days of understanding
Of moving with one another
Even the cops grooved with us
Do you believe me, yeah
Down in Monterey
Down in Monterey, yeah
Down in Monterey
Down in Monterey, yeah

I think that maybe I'm dreamin'
Monterey
Monterey, yeah
Down in Monterey
Did you hear what I say
Down in Monterey
Monterey
I said Monterey, Monterey, Monterey
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
He-ey, he-ey, haha, haha
Monterey
Haha, haha
Monterey
