Say hey, Mona . . . . .Oh, Mona Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mona . . . . .Oh, Mona Mona showed me what I know how to do Go down on my knees for a woman like you Blow me over with a black silk glove A stronger woman makes a stronger love Let's break out, break out, out of this jail Whistle to wheels on a rackety rail Make out naked on the 4th of July Catch you later little satyr after we die I say hey, Mona . . . . .Oh, Mona I say yeah! yeah, yeah, yeah Mona, oh Mona Timmy! Play for Bo! Go! I say hey, Mona . . . . .Oh, Mona Mona corona do you feel that heat Down inside the Bo Diddley beat Pump high octane into the pulse I can't fantasize anybody else Hey what are you doing with the Frisco Boys? One heart hungers while another destroys One heart shattered on a day in May Love that's love will not fade away Love that's love will not fade away Not fade away, never fade away . . . . . I say hey, Mona . . . . .Oh, Mona I say yeah! yeah, yeah, yeah Mona, oh Mona |

Credits: Song: Bo Diddley New Lyrics (verses): Peter Cross Lead guitars: The Incredible Tim McDonald Basic tracks: You know who, don't you? Vocal: Peter Cross Recording Engineer: Jay Bowman Final Mix: Mark Needham Commentary: This song was written by the legendary Bo Diddley, and was the first song ever sung by Peter Cross in a band in front of an audience. Peter probably peformed the song thousands of times, in many different bands, but he had no plans to record it. This particular recording occurred almost as an afterthought, when Peter was at Mark Needham's recording studio finishing The Belchmeister. He was waiting for Tim McDonald to arrive to play his guitar tracks on Belchmeister when new lyrics for the verses to "Mona" popped into his head, all in about 20 minutes. From conception to final mixdown took a total of 7 hours. This is not only an all time speed record for Peter, but it marks the only time Peter has ever recorded a version of a song written by someone else. |
