Monterey Lyrics - Singles - Eric Burdon & 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 birds 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 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 said? 

Down in Monterey 

Down in Monterey 

I said, Monterey, Monterey, Monterey 

Yeah, yeah
