The Animals

The Animals were an English band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band relocated to London on finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion. more »

You know I got a letter from a friend of mine
In Newcastle upon a Tyne the other day
He said to me, "Eric, I heard you've been havin'
Some trouble down in the smoke with the girls"

He said, "You wanna catch that flyin' Scotsman
Back up here to Newcastle
'Cause we've got enough females to go around up here
And I can figure you can find yourself a little somethin'"

"And because people around here
Don't go away stealin' each others loved ones
Away from one another
Like they do down there in the smoke"

He also said in the letter that, ah
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
And I believed every word he said now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

One more thing he told me now
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne
He said to me, babe
Things don't happen like that here on Tyne

He said, alright, alright
So I'm sayin' to you who are listenin'
If you've been unlucky in love
And you've lost somebody love

And you hear a voice that comes to you
In the middle of the night and says
It says I want you to get on up
Listen to me, I want you to get on up
And find yourself another one

If you're havin' breakfast one morning
And out from behind the teapot a little voice says
Listen, hey, I want you to get on up now
If you're out in the mornin' on your job

And a voice come to you on your job and says
Get up, get up
And you know it's not the foreman
It's a little voice that says

You wanna get up and walk [unverified], women
Go on and find yourself somebody
That's what you'd better do

Because I'll tell you one thing
There's one thing I found out
One thing I found out
Took me a long time to find it out

Yeah, it took me a long time to find out
But I think I got it now, oh, yeah
One monkey don't stop no show
Yes, it's true, baby

One monkey don't stop no show
Don't let one monkey stop up your show
One monkey don't stop no show
One monkey don't stop no show
