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 Byrds and the Airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankar's music made me cry
The Who exploded into fired light (yeah)
Hugh Masekela's music was black as night

The Grateful Dead blew everybody's mind
Jimi Hendrix, baby,
believe me set the world on fire
His majesty, Prince Jones smiled
as he moved among the crowd
Ten thousand electric guitars
were groovin' real loud, yeah

If you wanna 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

Hu! huh-huh!

Alright!

Three days of understanding
Of moving with one another
Even the cops grooved with us
Do you believe me?
Yeah!

Down in Monterey
Down in Monterey, yeah
Down in Monterey
Down in Monterey, yeah

I think that maybe I'm dreamin'!

Monterey!

Monterey-yeah!

Down in Monterey

Did you hear what I said?
Down in Monterey

That some music

Monterey
I said
Monterey, Monterey, Monterey
Yeah-yeah, hey-hey-hey
A-ay, a-ay, a-ay-a-ay
