Sittin' in my car outside your house
(Sittin' in my car outside your house)
'Member when you spilled coke all over you blouse

T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)
We've been having fun all summer long

(All summer long you've been with me)
I can't see enough of you
(All summer long we've both been free)
Won't be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now

Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills
(Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills)
When we rode the horse we got some thrills
Every now and then we hear our song
(Every now and then we hear our song)
We've been having fun all summer long

Won't be long til summer time is through
(Summer time is through)
Not for us now
Every now and then we hear our song
(Every now and then we hear our song)
We've been having fun all summer long
We've been having fun all summer long
(We've been having fun all summer long)
We've been having fun all summer long
(We've been having fun all summer long)
We've been having fun all summer long

Catch a wave and you're sitting on top of the world

Don't be afraid to try the greatest sport around
Everybody tries it once
Those who don't just have to put it down
You paddle out turn around and raise
And baby that's all there is to the coastline craze
You gotta catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world

Not just a fad cause it's been going on so long
All the surfers going strong
They said it wouldn't last too long
They'll eat their words with a fork and spoon
And watch 'em they'll hit the road and all be surfin' soon
And when they catch a wave they'll be sittin' on top of the world

Catch a wave and your sittin' on top of the world

So take a lesson from a top-notch surfer boy
Get yourself a big board
But don't you treat it like a toy
Just get away from the shady turf
And baby go catch some rays on the sunny surf
And when you catch a wave you'll be sittin on top of the world

Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world
Catch a wave and you'll be sittin' on top of the world

One, one, two, three

Do you wanna go
Straight to Hawaii
(Hawaii) Hawaii (Hawaii)
Straight to Hawaii (Hawaii, Hawaii)
Oh do (Honolulu, Waikiki) you wanna come along with me
(Do you wanna come along with me)

I heard about all the pretty girls
With their grass skirts down to their knees
All my life I wanted to see
The island called Hawaii

Go to Hawaii
(Hawaii) Hawaii (Hawaii)
Straight to Hawaii (Hawaii, Hawaii)
Oh do (Honolulu, Waikiki) you wanna come along with me
(Do you wanna come along with me)

Now I don't know what town you're from
But don't tell me that they got bigger waves
Cause everyone that goes
Comes back with nothing but raves

That's in Hawaii
(Hawaii) Hawaii (Hawaii)
That's in Hawaii (Hawaii, Hawaii)
Oh do (Honolulu, Waikiki) you wanna come along with me
(Do you wanna come along with me)

And pretty soon this Winter
They'll hold the surfing championship of the year
Surfer guys and girls
Will be coming from far and near

Go to Hawaii
(Hawaii) Hawaii (Hawaii)
Straight to Hawaii (Hawaii, Hawaii)
Oh do (Honolulu, Waikiki) you wanna come along with me
(Do you wanna come along with me)

And you now (Honolulu, Waikiki)
You wanna live Hanah Lee
(Do you wanna come along with me)
Ooo ooo ooo (Honolulu, Waikiki)
Ooo ooo ooo (Do you wanna come along with me)
Ooo ooo ooo (Honolulu, Waikiki)
Ooo ooo ooo (Do you wanna come along with me)

I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt it’ll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear, it's all right
Second gear, it’ll be right
Third gear, hang on tight
Faster, it's all right

It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys, that two-wheel ride
We’ll ride on out of the town to anyplace I know you like

It climbs a hill like a match of skills my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turn, lean with me, and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights, so we can ride my Honda the night

Fun is in, it's no sin
It's that time again
To shed your load, hit the road
On the run again

Summer skies in our eyes
And a warmer sun
It's one for all, all for one
All for, all out fun

Gotta go to it (yeah)
Gotta go through it (yeah)
Gotta get with it

Lookin' good down the hood
Of a funky ride
On your way to the tide
Just to tan your hide

In the shade lemonade
In the sun ocean spray
To get your face in the race
Or lay back's no disgrace

Gotta go to it (yeah)
Gotta go through it (yeah)
Gotta get with it

It's OK to get out there
And, have some fun
By yourself maybe or else
With the special one

Good or bad, glad or sad
It's all gonna pass
So it's OK let's all play
And enjoy while it lasts

Gotta go to it (yeah)
Gotta go through it (yeah)
Gotta get with it

Find a ride
Find a ride
Find a ride
Find a ride

In the sun, sun, summertime
In the sun, sun, summertime

You're kinda small
And your such a doll
I'm glad you're mine
You're so good to me
How come you are

You take my hand
And you understand
When I get in a bad mood
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it

You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh yeah

I know your eyes
Are not on 'ther guys
When we're apart
You're so true to me
How come you are

And every night
You hold me so tight
When I kiss you goodbye
You're so good to me
And I love it, love it

You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh yeah

You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh yeah

You're my baby, oh yeah
Don't mean maybe, oh yeah

Well I walked up to her
And I asked her if she wanted to dance
She looked awfull nice
And so I hoped she might take a chance

When we danced I held her tight
And then I walked her home that night
And all the stars were shining bright
And then I kissed her

And each time I saw her
I couldn't wait to see her again
I wanted to let her know
That I was more than a friend

I didn't know just what to do
And so I whispered I love you
And she said that she loved me too
And then I kissed her

I kissed her in a way
That I never kissed a girl before
I kissed her in a way
That I hope she likes forever more

I knew that she was mine
So I gave her all the love that I had
And one day she'll take me home
To meet her mom and her dad

Then I asked her to be my bride
And always be right by my side
I felt so happy I almost cried
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her
And then I kissed her

. . .


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

(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

. . .


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

When I watched you walk with him
Tears filled my eyes
And when I heard you talk with him
I couldn't stand his lies
And now before he tries it
I hope you realize it girl

(Let him run wild)
(He don't care baby)
Let him run
(Let him run wild)
(He'll find out baby)
Let him run
(Let him run run run run wild baby)

(Guess you know I waited for you girl)
He'll do the same to other girls
That he did to you
Then one day he'll run in to one
That's gonna hurt him too
So before he makes you over
I'm gonna take you over

(Let him run wild)
(He don't care baby)
Let him run
(Let him run wild)
(He'll find out baby)
Let him run
(Let him run run run run wild baby)

(Guess you know I waited for you girl)
All the dreams you shared with him
You might as well forget
I know you need a truer love
And that's what you'll get
And now that you don't need him
Well he can have his freedom

(Let him run wild)
(He don't care baby)
Let him run
(Let him run wild)
(He'll find out baby)
Let him run
(Let him run run run run wild baby)
Let him run
(Let him run run run run wild baby)
Let him run
(Let him run run run run wild baby)
Let him run

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

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

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

Wendy ... Wendy what went wrong ... oh, so wrong,
We went together for so long,
I never thought a guy could cry,
'Til you made it with another guy,
Oh, Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.

Wendy ... Wendy don't lose your head ... lose your head,
Wendy ... don't believe a word he says,
I can't picture you with him,
His future looks awful dim,
Oh, Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.

(SOLO)

Wendy ... I wouldn't hurt you like that ... no, no, no,
I thought we had our love down pat ... guess I was wrong,
The farthest thing from my mind,
Was the day that I'd wake up to find,
My Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.

. . .


Clearing skies and drying eyes
Now I see your smile
Darkness goes and softness shows
A changing style

Just in time words that rhyme
Well bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands
With kisses and a Tootsie Roll

Oh reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh
Oh, fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Patti Page and summer days
On old Cape Cod
Happy times making wine
In my garage
Country shade and lemonade

Guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world
With a local girl
In a smaller town

Open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

Love...Hi Rick and Dave
Hi Pop...Well good morning mom
Love...get up guess what
I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell
Cause she likes
Church, bingo chances and old time dances

All my life I spent the night
With dreams of you
And the warmth I missed
And for the things I wished
They're all coming true

I've got my love to give
And a place to live
Guess I'm gonna stay
It'd be a peaceful life
With a forever wife
And a kid someday

It's earlier nights
And pillow fights
And your soft laugh
Fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

. . .


If every word I said
Could make you laugh
Ooh, I'd talk forever
I asked the sky just what we had
It showed forever
(together my love)
If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever
(together my love)

Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you

(together my love)
Let the love I have for you live in your heart
And be forever
(together my love)

Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you

If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever

Da da da da da da, da da da da da da...

Forever, forever
I've been so happy loving you

. . .


We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Turned each other on to the good things that life has to give

We drift apart for a little bit of a spell
One night I get a call and I know that you're well
And days I was down you would help me get out of my hole

Ohhhhhhhh

Let's be friends
Let's be friends
Let's be friends

You told me when my girl was untrue
I loaned you money when the funds weren't too cool
I talked your folks out of making you cut off your hair

We've been friends now for so many years
We've been together through the good times and the tears
Dim dipple ee dim dipple ay dim dipple oo dim dee aye oh

. . .


(Break, break, shake away)
(Break, break away)
(I did what, did what I wanna do)

Time will not wait for me
Time is my destiny
Why change the part of me
that has to be free

The love that passed me by
I found no reason why
but now each day is filled with the love
that very same love
that passed me by
and that is why

I can break away
from that lonely life
And I can do what I wanna do (I did what, did what I wanna do)
And break away from that empty life
And my world is new

When I laid down on my bed
I heard voices in my head
Tellin' me now hey, it's only a dream

The more I thought of it
I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead (baby, baby)
Found out it was in my head (baby, baby)
Found out it was my head (baby, baby)
Found out it was in my head (baby, baby, baby)

And I can break away to the better life
Where the shackles never hold me down
I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
as my life turns around

Oh boy, you'd jump for joy (Come on with me to break away)
when you (Won't you come on with me to break away)
Break away (Come on with me to break away)
Break away (Come on with me to ride away)
Break away (Won't you come on with me to break away)
Break away (Come on with me to ride away)
Feel the vibration
It's an arming sensation (Break away)
Feel the vibration
It's an arming sensation (Break away)

Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doo Dut

Ooh wah ooh wah ooh wah

Why do birds sing so gay
Why do fools fall in love
Love is awake at the break of day
Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love

Why does my heart skip with a crazy beat
'Fore I know it will fail to beat
Tell my why why
Why do they fall in love

Why do fools fall in love
Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doom Bopa Doo Dut
Why do birds sing so gay
Love is awake at the break of day
Why do they fall in love

Why does the rain fall from up above
Why do fools fall in love
Why do they fall in love

Tell my why why
Why do they fall in love

Tell my why why
Why do they fall in love

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne

The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief heart hardened I
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's Up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child

. . .


Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
Recall senses sadly
Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below
To light the way gladly
Whether whistling heaven's clouds disappear
Where the wind withers memory
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)

Unbending never ending tablets of time
Record all the yearning
Unfearing all appearing message divine
Eases the burning
Whether willing witness waits at my mind
Whether hope dampens memory
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)

Encasing all embracing wreath of repose
Engulfs all the senses
Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose
Retire the fences
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether harps heal the memory
Whether wholly heartened life fades away
Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows)

White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows
White hot glistening shadowy flows

I am that, thou art that, and all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
This is that

Oooo

Daybreak and I take a glide
Into the pool of peace inside
(Two waves travel by)
To waves and I both travel by
(And that makes all the difference to me)

Life supporting waves of bliss
Mother Divine's precious kiss
Brings with love the light of wisdom
And the gift of eternal freedom

To waves and I both travel by
(... and the nature of man...)
And that makes all the difference to me
(Krishna...)

All this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
This is that
This is that

Dusk time the shadows fall
Into the timeless time of all

To waves and I both travel by

Golden auras glow around you
Omnipresent love surrounds you
Wisdom warming as the sun
You and I are truly one

To waves and I both travel by
And that makes all the difference to me

I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that
I am that, thou art that, all this is that

I'm a cork on the ocean
Floating over the raging sea
How deep is the ocean?
How deep is the ocean?
I lost my way
Hey hey hey

I'm a rock in a landslide
Rolling over the mountainside
How deep is the valley?
How deep is the valley?
It kills my soul
Hey hey hey

I'm a leaf on a windy day
Pretty soon I'll be blown away
How long will the wind blow?
How long will the wind blow?
Ohhhh

Until I die
Until I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die
These things I'll be untill I die

I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightened, unenlightened
Sail on, sail on sailor

I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor

Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail

Seldom stumble, never crumble
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
Feel the stinging I've been given
Never ending, unrelenting
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
Never caring, persevering
Sail on, sail on, sailor

I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Wail on, wail on, sailor

Always needing, even bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
There's no wonder all I'm under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying

Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor
Sail on, sail on sailor

(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)
Coolin' so cool coolin' me
(Drip drip drip drip drink a little drip drip drip drip)

When the heat's got you down
Here's what you oughta
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water

When the heat's got you down
Here's what you oughta
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin' so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water
Get yourself in that cool cool water
(Coolin so cool coolin' me)
Cool cool water

Ooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaooooooaaaaaaa

Cool cool cool cool water water

In an ocean or in a glass
Cool water is such a gas

Coolin' so coolin' coolin' me

Ooooooooooooaaaaaaaaooooaaaaaaa

From the mountains on down to the sea
Cool water keeps on coolin' me
When the nights are too hot to keep cool
I keep on dreamin' 'bout a swimmin' pool

When I'm just too hot to move
Cool cool water is such a groove
In a shady spot when I'm layin' down
Only thing movin' are the ants on the ground

When I'm thirsty and I reach for a glass
Cool water tastes like such a gas
From the mountains on down to the sea
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Get yourself in that cool cool water now
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me
Cool cool water keeps on coolin' me

Don't go near the water
Don't you think it's sad
What's happened to the water
Our water's going bad

Oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
Have all been touched by man
The poison floating out to sea
Now threatens life on land

Don't go near the water
Ain't it sad
What's happened to the water
It's going bad

Don't go near the water
Don't go near the water

Toothpaste and soap will make our oceans a bubble bath
So let's avoid an ecological aftermath
Beginning with me
Beginning with you

Don't go near the water
To do it any wrong
To be cool with the water
Is the message of this song

Let's all help the water
Right away
Do what we can and ought to
Let's start today

On my way to sunny California
On my way to spend another sunny day

Water, water get yourself in the cool, clear, water
The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place
The sun shines brightly down on the bay
The air's so clean it'll just take your mind away
Take your mind away
Take your mind away

Have you ever been south of Monterey
Barrancas carve the coast line and the chaparral flows to the sea
'Neath waves of golden sunshine
And have you ever been north of Morro Bay
The south coast plows the sea
And the people there are of the breed
They don't need electricity
Water, water, cool cascades of clear, clear water
The sun dance final scene sets the hills ablaze.
Horizon edges quick up the mountain's way.

Have you ever been down Salinas way?
Where Steinbeck found the valley
And he wrote about it the way it was in his travelin's with Charley
And have you ever walked down through the sycamores
Where the farmhouse used to be
There the monarch's autumn journey ends
On a windswept cyprus tree

Water get water get yourself in that
Get yourself in that get yourself in that cool, clear, water
The sun shines brightly down on Penny's place
Get yourself in that water
The air's so clean that it just takes your mind away
Take your mind away
Take your mind away

Have you ever been to a festival, the Big Sur congregation?
Where Country Joe will do his show
And he'd sing about liberty
And the people there in the open air, one big family.
Yeah the people there love to sing and share
Their new found liberty

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray).
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
on a winter's day (on a winter's day).
I'd be safe and warm (I'd be safe and warm)
if i was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.).
California Dreaming (California dreamin')
on such a winter's day!

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way.
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
and I pretend to pray (I pretend to pray).
You know the preacher lights the coal (preacher lights the coal).
He knows I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay).
California Dreamin' (California dreamin')
on such a winters day!

- musical interlude -

All the leaves are brown (all the leaves are brown)
and the sky is gray (and the sky is gray).
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)
on a winter's day (on a winter's day).
If I didn't tell her (if I didn't tell her),
I could leave today (I could leave today).
California Dreamin' (California dreamin')
on such a winter's day (California dreamin')
on such a winter's day (California dreamin')
on such a winter's day!

What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way

For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)

The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"

Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Within me tonight)

I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel

My love's like the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(It won't ever die)
