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 pa** 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?
