I Used To Be An Animal - Eric Burdon

I want to tell you a story

Once upon a time

There were five young guys

Hanging in and out of Newcastle

Playing Rhythm and Blues

They had nothing to lose

They didn't need that tin-pan hassle

Over the Reeperbahn where the beat was born

Shocking the heart of the nation

Sign of the times

A new search in life

Start of a new rock generation

From day one to kingdom come

I'd do it all again

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa oh)

But I'm all right now

All right now baby

Twenty years ago we were children of war

But we danced to the Bo Diddley beat

There were rockers and mods

We didn't take it too hard

We had blue suede shoes on our feet

A revolution in France and James Brown's dance

A new world coming our way

We'd talk that talk in the streets of New York

And never looked back to this day

From day one to the risin' sun

I'll do it all again

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa oh)

But I'm all right now

All right all right all right

Yeah yeah all right whoa baby

We were flippin' and trippin'

And rockin' and rollin'

And generally havin' a ball

For the price of a drink

There was no time to think about the morality of it all

There was freaks and queens and love-ins and has-beens

Whisky-a-gogos and all night flamingos

A psychedelic explosion in slow motion

Dr Strangelove's bomb

From day one to the risin' sun

I'll do it all again (whoa oh oh)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (he used to be an animal)

I used to be an animal (whoa oh)

But I'm all right now

All right all right

Yeah yeah

All right all right

I'm all right now
