The people came and listened Some of them came and played Others gave flowers away Yes they did yeah! 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 Byrds and the Airplane Did fly Oh, Ravi Shankar's Music made me cry

The Who exploded Into fired light (yeah) Hugh Masekelas music Was black as night

The Grateful Dead Blew everybody's mind Jimi Hendrix, baby Believe me Set the world on fire, yeah!

His majesty Brian Jones smiled as he Moved among the crowd Ten thousand electric guitars Were groovin' real loud, yeah
