The people came and listened

Some of them came and played

Others gave flowers away, yes they did

Down in Monterey

Down in Monterey



Young Gods smiled upon the crowd

Their music being born of love

Children danced night and day

Religion was being born

Down in Monterey



The birds and the airplane did fly

Oh, Ravi Shankars music made me cry

The Who exploded into fire and light

Hugh Masakela's music was black as night

The Grateful Dead blew everybodies mind

Jimi Hendrix baby,believe me, set the world on fire, yeah

His Majesty, Prince Jones, smiled as he moved among the crowd

Ten thousand electric guitars were grooving real loud, yeah



You want to find the truth in life

Don't pass music by

and you know I would not lie, no I would not lie,

No, I would not lie

Down in Monterey



Three days of understanding of moving with one another

Even the cops grooved with us

Do you believe me, yeah?

Down in Monterey



I think that maybe I'm dreaming

Monterey

Down in monterey

Did you hear what I said?
