Monterey Lyrics - The Animals

The people came and listened 

Some of them came and played 

Others gave flowers away 

Yes they did yeah! 

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

Into fired light (yeah)

Was black as night

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

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 

No, I would not lie 

Down in Monterey 

Hu! huh-huh! 

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!

Down in Monterey 

Did you hear what I said? 

Down in Monterey 

That some music

Yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey 

A-ay, a-ay, a-ay-a-ay
