LIVE AT THE ROXY

(Audience cheers)
(recording played over PA at concert of Brian conducting sessions for "Little Girl I Once Knew")
(Brian speaking) The bass saxophone has a bit of a hang up in the instrumental
You got to get a bit faster
Otherwise I think there’s a delay
Ok Here we go
Try the intro, one more
(band plays but a false start)
Hey now listen
Is everyone playing or what?
OK, come in from that beat ,Al, real hard, you know
Let’s go from that intro again please
Play at intro soft Lawrence OK
The Heidemann kind of sound, especially with the bass saxophone
Here we go

2. The Little Girl I Once Knew
(Brian Wilson)
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
3:25

We met when she was younger
Then I had no eyes for her
A few years went by and I saw her
Now I'm gonna try for her

Look out babe

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

How could I ever have known that
She'd be what she is today
And look at how her boyfriend holds her
I'll be moving in one day

Split man

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

Pow pow pow
La doo day pow pow pow
La doo day pow pow pow
La doo day pow pow pow

She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once knew

(Brian) Thank you very much, thank you, thank you very much, Woah! Woah!
Let’s do it, let’s make some more music, OK

3. This Whole World
B Wilson
Brother Publishing; BMI
1:52

I'm thinking about a-this whole world
Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Lots of different people everywhere
And when I go anywhere I see love I see love I see love

When girls get mad at boys and go
Many times they're just putting on a show
But when they leave you wait alone

You are there like everywhere like everyone you see
Happy cause you’re living and you’re free

Now here comes another day for your love
(I'm thinking about a-this whole world)
(A-this whole world)
For your love, for your love

Late at night I think about the love of this whole world
Lots of different people everywhere

Woah!

4. Don’t Worry Baby
B Wilson/R Christian
Irving Music; BMI/Careers BMG; BMI
3:27

Well it’s been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long (thank you)
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

Thank you

She told me Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you know how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you

Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don’t worry baby
Don’t worry baby
Don't worry baby
Oh oh oh

(Brian) Thank you very much, OK, we’re not rocking yet, obviously we’re not rocking and rolling yet but we will be in a little while, but..
So let’s do a song called "Kiss Me Baby", it’s kind of a sweet little song

5. Kiss Me Baby
B Wilson/M Love
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
3:12

Please don't let me argue anymore
I won't make you worry like before
Can't remember what we fought about
Late late last night we said it was over
But I remember when we thought it out
We both had a broken heart

Woah Baby
(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)

As I drove away I felt a tear
It hit me I was losing someone dear
Told my folks I would be alright
Tossed and I turned, my head was so heavy
Then I wondered as it got light
Were you still awake like me?

Woah Baby
(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)

Tight

(Kiss me Baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)
Woah Baby
(Kiss me baby)
Woah Baby
(Love to hold you)

Tight

(Brian) Thank you, thank you a lot

6. Do It Again
B Wilson/M Love
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
3:25

(Brian) How would you all like to hear a really groovy rock and roll song, alright)

It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go

Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good in moonlight
Makes your night times warm and out of sight

Been so long
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)
(Hey now hey now hey now hey now hey now)

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it (surf) again

One more time

(Brian) Hey, hey, thank you very much
OK, hold it, hold it, woah, wait, hold on
(someone else) Hold on, hold it
(Brian) The next song is the Beach Boys main anthem song of their whole career

7. California Girls
B Wilson/M Love
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
4:07

Well East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there

The Midwest farmer's daughters
Really make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

(Jeffery Foskett) Hey, sing along with us right here
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand

I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world

I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls

I wish they all could be California
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)
I wish they all could be California
(Girls, girls, girls yeah I dig the)

(Brian) Let’s hear a little bass, here’s the bass
How about some drums
Is that a good beat?

Well I'm going back this summer to Ohio
I'm gonna seek out all my friends I've always known
I'm goin' back to that farm that I remember
Well I'm goin' to spend this summer back home

Back home (back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

I'm gonna get up every morning before the roosters
I'll run downstairs fix my breakfast all alone
I'll milk those cows, feed the chickens and the horses
Well I'm gonna spend this summer back home

Back home (back home, back home)
I'll spend my summer (back home)
Back home (back home)

I'll eat everything that Ma puts on the table (yes I will)
When I get back you won't believe how I've grown

10. In My Room
B Wilson/G Usher
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
2:48

There's a world where I can go and tell my secrets to
In my room, in my room, in my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my fears
In my room, in my room., in my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming
Lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing
Laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room, in my room, in my room, in my room
In my room, in my room, in my room

(Brian) Okay, this song (cough to clear throat) excuse me. This next song, I wrote while I was driving around in my car. And I wrote it in my car, without a piano. Here we go

11. Surfer Girl
Brian Wilson
Guild Music Company; BMI
3:03

Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my woodie I would take you everywhere I go

So I say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me do you surfer girl

(Brian)Thank you, thank you so much, thank you, it’s good to be here, now, and now, and now for the big one, no not yet, not yet!
We’re going to do a song, I found a song in a briefcase with old lyrics that I had written in 1983 and we hadn’t recorded it yet, but I’ll sing it for you now, it’s called "The First Time"

12. The First Time
Brian Wilson
New Executive Music; BMI
3:55

In the night time when it's dark and cold
I find peace of mind cause I have you to hold
When we're sound asleep and we’re breathing slow
Angels up above and the devil below

House of the rising sun
Beam up love for everyone
Happy just to be

Every one in the world has his first time
And his best time and his worst time
I've heard your voice so sweet, strangers until we meet
Steal the dark side of the moon

Please don’t ask me why
But it’s something I
Have so deep inside
So I can tell you now
That I see it all the way through you

(Brian) Thank you, thank you very much for the warm reception, this next song , this next song is a song that the Flintstones have a movie coming out next month and be watching for this song in that movie called "This Isn’t Love", it’s going to be in a movie, isn’t that great, isn’t that great! Here we go

13. This Isn’t Love
B Wilson/T Asher
New Executive Music; BMI/ Soulhouse Music; BMI
3:55

(it’s a love song)
This isn't love, this is ecstasy
Somehow I knew you would come to me
I’ve just been waiting for you to come
Into my life this way
Now here you’ll stay

This isn't love, this is destiny
Somewhere above this was planned for me
Life had no meaning, I never knew what
Til the dream came true
The dream is you

I never say never
But this love won't ever be over
Together we'll share love wherever we go

This isn't chance, this was meant to be
I knew I’d find you eventually
Nothing else matters, As long as I know
You will always be so close to me

I never say never
But this love won't ever be over
Together we'll share love wherever we go

This isn't chance
This was meant to be
I knew I’d find you eventually

Nothing else matters
As long as I know
You will always be so close to me

I never say never
I never say never
I never say never
I never say never
I never say never

(Brian) Thank you, thank you very much, thank you so much, and now, and now for the lyric, this next song has the most incredible lyrics I have written, the most fantastic lyrics in the world, so listen to these lyrics

14. Add Some Music To Your Day
B Wilson/M Love/J Knott
Brother Publishing; BMI
4:11

The Sunday morning gospel goes good with the soul
There's blues, folk, and country, and rock like a rolling stone
The world could come together as one
If everybody under the sun
Would add some music to your day
(Add some music add some add some music to your day)
A bob didit a bop didit

You'll hear it while you're walkin' by a neighbor's home
You'll hear it faintly in the distance when you're on the phone
You're sittin' in a dentist's chair
And they've got music for you there
So add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day
A bob didit a bop didit

Add some music everywhere (add some music)
Add some add some add some add some music (add some music)
Your doctor knows it keeps you calm
Your preacher adds it to his psalms
So add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day

Music
(Add some music add some music)
When you're alone
(Add some music add some music)
Is like a companion
(Add some music add some music)
For your lonely soul
Oo oo oo woo oo woo oo oo oo oooo

When day is over
I close my tired eyes
Music is in my soul

At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
You'll hear children chasing ice cream carts
They'll play it on your wedding day
There must be 'bout a million ways
To add some music
(Add some music add some add some music to your)
To your day

Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music to your day
Add some music

(Brian) Now this is the last, this is the last song before we get to rock a little bit, it’s a very beautiful song, here we go

15. Please Let Me Wonder
B Wilson/M Love
Irving Music, Inc.; BMI
3:29

Now here we are together
This would've been worth waiting forever
I always knew it'd feel this way

And please forgive my shaking
Can't you tell my heart is breaking?
Can't make myself say what I planned to say

Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

I built all my goals around you
That some day my love would surround you
You'll never know what we've been through

For so long I thought about it
And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you

Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

I love you

Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

(Brian) Thank you
(Jeff Foskett) We’ll be back in about fifteen minutes, you guys
