When it's ice cream weather get the gang back together
Roll down your windows and ride
They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes dancin' in the streets
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer ah live)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(ah keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Try to keep the summer)

When it's ice cream weather all the girls will look better
The boys try to give them a ride
To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep t alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(alive)

Lay down in the sun
And watch the clouds roll by
And bein' with the one you love
In the summertime

When it's last September back in school we'll remember
The cure for the wintertime blues
Grab your girl hit the road head on down to the beach
You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes

They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer )
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(sum sum summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
We're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
We'll just
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Keep the summer alive
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)
Yeah tryin' to keep the summer alive
(yeah yeah uh huh I know we'll keep the summer)

Before we met there must have been some others
Like storybook and fairy tale lovers
But in my life there's never been another
So perfect lover

Oh ho darlin'
Now that I've found you
It's like a missing piece of puzzle has appeared
And now my darlin'
My love surrounds you
And since you came into my life my love
Perfection's never ever been so near

To love and to be loved is so inspiring
And that's why every lover's so desiring
Of the love they're seeking never retiring
Always aspiring

Love like just like moonlight glowing
Our love keeps growing

Oh ho darlin'
Now that I've found you
It's like a missing piece of puzzle has appeared
And now my darlin'
My love surrounds you
And since you came into my life my love
Perfection's never ever been so near

Lying here with you in the night
Underneath the heavenly skies
Baby what a beautiful sight
Darlin' now hold me, hold me tight

Oh ho darlin'
Now that I've found you
It's like a missing piece of puzzle has appeared
And now my darlin'
My love surrounds you
And since you came into my life my love
Perfection's never ever been so near

Oh darlin' (God only knows)
Now that I've found you (how I love you ee oo)
It's like a missing piece of puzzle has appeared
And now my darlin' (God only knows)
My love surrounds you
And since you came into my life my love
Perfection's never ever been so near

Darlin (God only knows)
Found you (how I love you ee ooo)
Darlin (God only knows)
Found you (how I love you ee ooo)

Some some some of your love (won't you give me some)
Some of your love
Some some some of your love (dip de doody doo ah ah)

You gotta see my favorite little acrobat
She really got her every little move down pat
She's got my vote for number one in the class
I couldn't help but try to make a forward pass

Some some some of your love (won't you give me some)
Some of your love
Some some some of your love (dip de doody doo ah ah)

There's nothin' like a-romancin' in the stands
Walking down the hallways a-holdin' hands
Punchin' up our juke box favorite band
Cuddlin' up in summer moonlight in the sand

Kiss me, baby
Hold me tight tonight

Some some some of your love
A gimme some some some of your love now
Some some some of your love
A gimme some some some of your love now
Some some some of your love
Wontcha gimme some some some of your love
Some some some of your love
Some of your lovin'
Some some some of your love
Woncha gimme some of your love
Some some some of your love
Some of your lovin'
Some some some of your love
Woncha gimme some of your love
Some some some of your love
Some of your lovin'
Some some some of your love
Woncha gimme some some of your love
Some some some of your love
Some of your lovin'

You left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
Don't leave me alone livin' with a heartache
After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin' with a heartache
Livin' with a heartache

I've loved you for so long
It's hard to believe that you've really gone
I'll try to change to what I should be
I'm no good alone, you know-a everyone sees

That you left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(Nothin' but a heartache)
Don't leave me alone livin' with a heartache
(With a heartache)

After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin' with a heartache
Livin' with a heartache

Please come back and stay with me
Give our love a chance and maybe you'll see
My love is true like a heart of gold
I promise you a love you can hold

Still you left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(Nothin' but a heartache)
But don't leave me alone livin' with a heartache
(With a heartache)

After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

I'm livin' with a heartache
Livin with a heartache

We are strangers since we've been apart
And I can't live inside this broken heart
So now I say what's on my mind
It's up to you. Are we wasting time?

You left me alone with nothin' but a heartache
(With nothin' but a heartache)
Now don't leave me alone livin' with aheartache
(With a heartache)

After all this time
I still wish you were mine
I miss you every day
Come back to me and stay

Livin' with a heartache
Livin' with a heartache
Don't leave me livin' with a heartache
Mmm mmm mmm mmm

School days
School days
Dear old Golden Rule days

Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American History and Practical Math
Studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
And workin' your fingers right down the bone
The guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open your books
The teacher don't know how mean she looks

Ha ha ha ha ha
Are you ready?

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Throw down your books get out of your seat
And down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
And all day long you've been wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
And round and round and round you go

Hail hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums loud and bold
Rock rock rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul

. . .


Oo... Goin' on

When in the morning
I must arise
I look in the mirror (look in the mirror)
It couldn't be clearer (couldn't be clearer)
Something is gone from my eyes (from my eyes)
Goin' on (goin' on)
Goin' on

I know what is missing (do do do)
'Cause since you've been gone (do do do)
My mind keeps on reelin' (mind keeps on reelin')
My heart keeps on feelin' (heart keeps on feelin')
Why is my love goin' on (goin' on)
Goin' on (goin' on)
Goin' on

I love you
I miss you
Things won't be the same 'till I kiss you
I'm empty without you
My heart's full with my arms around you

We said it was over (do do do)
We're living apart (do do do)
We couldn't quite make it (couldn't quite make it)
But still I can't shake it (still I can't shake it)
Our love still lives on in my heart (in my heart)
Goin' on (goin' on)
Goin' on

I'll love you forever
Love won't be the same again ever (same again ever)
Without you (without you) I'm longing (I'm longing)
You gave me a sense of belonging

Why is my love goin' on (goin' on)
Goin' on (goin on)
Goin' on

I love you, I miss you
I'm sorry, forgive me (won't you forgive me)
Believe me (believe me)
My lover (my lover)
There never could be any other

Come be my, redeemer
Awaken me beautiful dreamer (beautiful dreamer)
I love you (I love you)
I miss you (I miss you)
Things won't be the same 'til I'm with you

Ah ah ah ah...

With a smile she brings me light
She can make my whole world bright
She brings out the sun at night
She's my sunshine

Life would be full (???)
Sailing on the sea
In a boat
Just a (???) knee
And propose
That she'll be my only one

She can make you feel so fine
Like to love her all the time
It's the reason I'm a-pleasin' my sunshine

Some-a-day I'm
Gonna marry her
Some-a-way I'm
Gonna carry her
To a place where we can play in the sun

Like a full moon shinin' bright
She'll light up the darkest night
Will she squeeze me
How she'll please me
Sunshine

Some-a-day I'm
Gonna marry her
Some-a-way I'm
Gonna carry her
To a place where we can play in the sun

Never felt a kiss so sweet
Never could I ever meet
Someone even half as sweet as my
Sunshine

Some-a-day I'm
Gonna marry her
Some-a-way I'm
Gonna carry her
To a place where we can play in the sun

Dum dum dum be dum be do
Dum dum dum be dum be do

When girls get together
They like to talk about their latest love
And their description seems somehow to fit just like a glove

When girls get together
They don't waste time on things llike weather and stuff
THey all just play around and never seem to discuss it enough

This must have been going on prehistory
They may not ever solve the mystery
But they'll go talk until eternity

When girls get together
And bring up father or brother or men of their lives
It means so much if she's your sister or your mother or your lovin' wife

I guess we guys might never really know
How good we've got it but we'd like to show
Just how much that we love them so

One bright springtime morning
I over heard an elderly lady's voice
As I walked by her bench she told her friends of her great loss

After they'd gone away
Three little girls came skipping through the park
Talking of little boys and getting home before it's dark

When girls get together

Here in Sothern California there is a weather condition known as the
Santa Ana Winds.

Fire wind oh desert wind
She was born in a desert breeze
And wind her way
Through Canyon Way
From the desert to the silvery sea

In every direction
See the perfection
And see the San Gabriel Mountain scene

Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes

Fill my sails
Oh desert wind
And hold the waves high for me

Then I will come
And test my skill
Where the Santa Ana winds blow free

In waves of elation
My part of creation
Becoming one with the boundless sea

Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes

I am the wind
Oh desert wind
On my pilgrimage to the sea

I will prevail
I will not fail
To bring life into humanity

My song is creation
(???)the nation
Whispering the wisdom and its purity

Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds keep blowin' across my eyes
Santa Ana winds...

Ocean lovers who like to harmonize
They're all cousins friends and brothers
And they make their Mamas cry
They're record-making heart-breaking
Just West Coast boys
What I know it's a beginning of an endless harmony
Oooo ooo ooooo

Striped shirt freedom
Brave new worlds
Go out on the road
Where there's mid-sixties screaming
And that nighttime holiday scheming
While a lifestyle turns to gold
Music's growing
And vibrations showing
What's it all mean
I know it means there's an endless harmony

And we sang God bless America
It's a land where we tour
She takes great care of us
And people love for where we sing
We sing doot doo doot, doot doo doot, doot doo doo doo
