From the 1930 Film Production
Lyrics by Billy Rose
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
IT HAPPENED IN MONTEREY A LONG TIME AGO,
I MET HER IN MONTEREY, IN OLD MEXICO,
STARS AND STEEL GUITARS AND LUSCIOUS LIPS AS RED AS WINE,
BROKE SOMEBODY’S HEART, AND I’M AFRAID THAT IT WAS MINE,
IT HAPPENED IN MONTEREY, WITHOUT THINKING TWICE,
I LEFT HER AND THREW AWAY THE KEY TO PARADISE,
MY INDISCREET HEART LONGS FOR THE SWEETHEART...
THAT I LEFT IN OLD MONTEREY.
(Repeat Refrain)
"King Of Jazz"
IT HAPPENED IN MONTEREY
