5. "Still Surfin'"

Time: 4:02 Clairaudient/Daywin Music, Inc. BMI

Mike Love/Terry Melcher

He used to ride the sidewalks in a landlocked town

A solitary surfer still he got around

He had his favorite spots now

Where the best rides could be found

With posters on his wall from "Surfer" magazine

His room looked like a shrine to the surfin' scene

Go to Hawaii out of high school was his big time college dream

(That's where the girls are)

Did you ever wonder what happened to surfer Joe

He up and took a trawler down to Mexico

With a pretty senorita we both used to know

You can see him catch a wave in the mornin' light

And sometimes you can find him on his board at night

A silouette on water as the sun dips outta sight

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

You'll catch� him on a wave on his way to class

Then be back there after school on his daylight glass

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

Surfers always love them summer days

With a board in the water rollin' with the waves

He's still surfin'

He's always been a surfer since the early days

Spendin' the summer searchin' for that perfect wave

He and his surfin' senorita never seem to age

He doesn't do a whole lot with his law degree

They thought about a major oceanography

But he does a lot of thinkin' 'bout how to save the sea

(That's where the waves are)

Things up north were gettin' kinda out of hand

So he got a break to see the ride on the sand

With his little mama seated in a surfer's never never land

You can see him catch a wave in the mornin' light

And sometimes you can find him on his board at night

A silouette on water as the sun dips outta sight

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

You'll catch� him on a wave on his way to class

Then be back there after school on his daylight glass

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

He's still surfin'

(Still surfin')

Surfers always love them summer days

With a board in the water rollin' with the waves

He's still surfin'

In the mornin light he still surfin'

On his board at night he's still surfin'

In the summer days he's still surfin'

Rollin' with the waves he's still surfin'

6. "Slow Summer Dancin' (One Summer Night)"

Time: 3:23 Bruce Johnston Publishing BMI/PSO Limited ACSAP

Bruce Johnston/Danny Webb

I'll set the stage while she's still dancing

I'll make the music soft and slow

Then I'll turn down the lights

Make things just right

For every slow song that we know

Over and over again

One summer night

(Do do do)

We fell in love

One summer night

I held you tight

(One summer, one summer)

You and I

(One summer, one summer)

Under the moon for love

(Ooo one summer, one summer)

We'll spin around this room together

I'll treat my angel really nice

We'll fall in love, we'll fall forever

Thank God for lazy summer nights

Over and over again

One summer night

(Do do do)

(One summer, one summer)

I kissed your lips

(One summer, one summer)

One summer night

(One summer, one summer)

I held you close

(One summer, one summer)

You and I

(One summer, one summer)

Under the moon of love

(Ooo one summer, one summer)

(One summer, one summer)

One summer night

(One summer, one summer)

One summer night

(One summer, one summer)

Under the moon of love

(Ooo one summer, one summer)

Under the moon of love

(Ooo one summer, one summer)

Under the moon of

Love

9. "Lahaina Aloha"

Time: 3:43 Daywin Music, Inc./Clairaudient BMI

Terry Melcher/Mike Love

Where the sea breeze

Sways the palm trees

Paradise awaits

And so does she

Reliving love

That was like a romance

From a page in history

It was the last place

That he stopped at

On the way back to his boat

She was dancing

Met his glancing

Like they say

"It was all she wrote"

You know I want to

But I can't stay (bye bye)

Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)

When the wind comes up

And when the sun goes down

I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

Out on the water where the full moon shines

You and Lahaina always on my mind

They left the dance floor

So they could spend more

Precious time near the water side

It wasn't wrong

And it wasn't right

They were two ships

Passing in the night

You know I want to

But I can't stay (bye bye)

Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)

When the wind comes up

And when the sun goes down

I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

I think about you when the full moon shines

Lahaina always on my mind

You know I want to

But I can't stay (bye bye)

Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)

When the wind comes up

And when the sun goes down

I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

I think about you when the full moon shines

Lahaina always on my mind

You know I want to

But I can't stay (bye bye)

Girl you know I'm gonna sail away (sail away)

When the wind comes up

And when the sun goes down

I'll say "goodbye" to this old island town

I think about you when the full moon shines

Lahaina always on my mind

10. "Under The Boardwalk"

Time: 4:06 Alley Music Corp./Trio Music Co. BMI

Different version released as a single in the summer of 1994

Arthur Resnick/Kenny Young/Mike Love

Boardwalk (I wanna take you girl under the)

Boardwalk (I'm gonna take you girl under the)

Boardwalk (I wanna take you girl under the)

Boardwalk

Ah when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof

And the street's so hot you're hoping this whole town is fireproof

Under the boardwalk

Down by the sea (oh yeah)

I'm on a blanket with my baby

That's where I'll be

And when the sun goes down

We'll take a walk along the strand

And as the tide goes out

We'll write "I love you" right there in the sand

Oh I want to go

Under the boardwalk

Down by the sea (oh yeah)

I'm on a blanket with my baby

That's where I'll be

Under the boardwalk

Oh oh ohhhh

Under the boardwalk (yeah)

Down by the sea (oh yeah)

I'm on a blanket with my baby

That's where I'll be

And when the moon is out

And it's finally cooling down

Don't have to look too far

Because my girl and I just might be found

Oh oh ohhhh

Under the boardwalk (yeah)

Down by the sea (oh yeah)

On a blanket with my baby

That's where I'll be

Ooo I'm on a blanket with my pretty baby

Just you and me

Boardwalk (I wanna take you girl under the)

Boardwalk (I'm gonna take you girl under the)

Boardwalk (I wanna take you girl under the)

11. "Summer In Paradise"

Time: 3:51 Clairaudient/Daywin Music, Inc. BMI

Mike Love/Terry Melcher/Craig Fall

Way back when well our master plan

Was havin' fun fun fun as America's band

Well we came out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbara Ann

Singin' of surf and sand

Now when we look back over all the fun we had

If our lifestyle's over now it sure is sad

We gotta get back to livin' without a care

Give me sunshine water and an ozone layer

Paradise is a state of mind

Where Mother Nature nurtures and man is kind

We need a change now wouldn't it be nice

If we could bring back summer

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

They chop down the forests

And in their haste leave a trail of destruction

And toxic waste is leavin' no one safe

In their home or their habitat

Can't let it go like that

Too much consumption and too much greed

When you consider all the people

That are livin' in need

Interdependence in this world is a natural fact

And we're all under attack

It's the eve of destruction or so they say

But mankind doesn't have to go that way

If we all get together we can make things right

And we can bring back summer

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

Surfers recycle now don't you know

Like evryone from California to Kokomo

We're gonna keep on rockin'

And raisin' world consciousness

We gotta fix this mess

Looked in the future and what I saw

Was a world in harmony with natural law

There's trouble now but it will be alright if we can

Bring back summer

Get us back our summer

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise

(Paradise)

Summer in paradise (paradise)

Summer in paradise
