Jericho Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now she's comin', Mona Mona.
Outside my window
She is passin' on her way
Watchin' her eyes
Shinin' like a summer's day.
Makes a man want Mona Mona.
I just wonder
If she's real or never been
Watchin' her eyes
Shinin' all over my dreams.
I can see Mona Mona
I can see Mona Mona
I can see Mona Mona,
Mona Mona, mine.
Outside my window
She is passin' on her way
Watchin' her eyes
Shinin' like a summer's day.
I can see Mona Mona
I can see Mona Mona
Yes, I can see Mona Mona,
Mona Mona, mine.
I can see her, Mona Mona
Now she's comin', Mona Mona
I can see her, Mona Mona
Now she's comin', Mona Mona.
The lyrics of Jericho Jones's "Mona Mona" narrate the singer's fascination towards a woman named Mona Mona. He watches her pass by his window and marvels at her beauty, comparing it to a summer's day. He wonders if Mona Mona is real or just a figment of his imagination. Every move she makes makes him want her more. The repetition of "I can see her, Mona Mona" and "now she's comin', Mona Mona" implies that the singer is eagerly waiting for Mona Mona to come to him. The lyrics use only a few words to express the singer's devotion and adoration for Mona Mona.
The song has a hypnotic quality to it, with its repetitive lines and simple melody. The lyrics have been interpreted to mean different things, from an ode to a woman to a reflection of the singer's drug-induced state. The song was released in 1971, at the peak of psychedelic rock, and the lyrics reflect the trippy, dreamlike quality of the era.
