Monterey

Eric Burdon And The Animals

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 fire and 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

You want to 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



All right!!!



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

Down in Monterey, down in Monterey

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

Monterey, Monterey

Down in Monterey

Did you hear what I say?

Down in Monterey
