Surfin' U.S.A.
(Berry/Wilson)

If everybody had an ocean across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin' like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies huarachi sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo surfin' U. S. A.

You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle Australia's Narabine
All over Manhattan and down Doheny Way
Everybody's gone surfin' surfin' U.S. A.

We'll all be planning that route, we're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards, we can't wait for June
We'll all be gone for the summer, we're on surfari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin' surfin' U. S. A.

Haggerties and Swamies Pacific Palisades
San Anofree and Sunset Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla at Waimia Bay
Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S.A.
Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S.A.
Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S.A.

Little Deuce Coupe
(Brian Wilson/Roger Christian)

Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
Little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down
But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don't even try
Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still
She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored
She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)

She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

And comin' off the line when the light turns green
Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
When I get rubber in all four gears

She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got
(my little deuce coupe)
(you don't know what I got)
She's my little deuce coupe
You don't know what I got

Fun, Fun, Fun
(Wilson/Love)

Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now

And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)

And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)

But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)

And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)

California Girls
(Wilson)

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

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 Hawaiian Island dolls
By a palm tree in the sand

Sloop John B.
(Trad. arr. Wilson)

We come on the sloop John B.
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night, got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail) hoist up the John B.
I feel so broke up I wanna go home, let me go home

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I wanna go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home

Wouldn't It Be Nice?
(Wilson/Asher)

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married
And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

God Only Knows
(Wilson/Asher)

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

Doo doo doo ....
Ba ba ba ba ba ....
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I'd be without you
And God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you ....

Good Vibrations
(Wilson/Love)

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations (oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations (oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (oom bop bop excitations)

Close my eyes she's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes she goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations ....

Ah - ah my my what elation
I don't know where but she sends me there
Ah my my what a sensation - ah my my what elations
Ah my my what

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' - ah

Good good good good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good vibrations (oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations (oom bop bop excitations)

Na na na na na ....

Then I Kissed Her
(Greenwich/Barry/Spector)

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

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

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'd never kissed a girl before
I kissed her in a way that I hope she liked for evermore

I knew that she was mine so I gave her all the love that I had
Then 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 that I almost cried
And then I kissed her, and then I kissed her
And then I kissed her

Heroes And Villains
(Wilson/Parks)

I've been in this town so long at back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets
That eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town
Full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains just see what you've done
Heroes and villains just see what you've done

La la la la la ....
Stand or fall I know there shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair of my life with the heroes and villains
Do do do do do ....

My children were raised you know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy, wealthy and wise

I've been in this town so long, so long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff to ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains just see what you've done
Heroes and villains just see what you've done ....

Darlin'
(Wilson/Love)

Oh darlin'
My darlin' you're so fine, oh

Don't know if words can say
But darlin' I'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part

Oh oh darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
Darlin' you're so fine
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh huh, oh

I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love but now I can
You pick me up when I'm feeling sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
'Cause I think you're too outta sight

Oh oh darlin'
I dream you often my pretty darlin'
Darlin' you're so fine
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh huh

Woah oh oh oh
Every night oh, darlin'

Gonna love you every single night, yes I will
Cause I think you're too doggone outta sight

Darlin'
I dream you often my pretty darlin'
Darlin' you're so fine
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love, uh huh, oh ....

Do It Again
(Wilson/Love)

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

The suntanned bodies and waves of sunshine
The California girls and a beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather, let's get together
And do it again

Doo-doo-doot doo-doo-doot doot-doo doo-doo-doot ....

With a girl the lonely sea looks good - the moonlight
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long - been so long - been so long
Doot doot doo-doo-doot - doot doot doo-doo-doot
Been so long
Lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down
Lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down

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 again

Ow! Doo-doo-doot doo-doo-doot doot-doo doo-doo-doot ....
Lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down
Lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down - lay it down ....

I Can Hear Music
(Greenwich/Barry/Spector)

Ah ooh
This is the way I always dreamed it would be
The way that it is, oh oh when you are holding me
I never had a love of my own
Maybe that's why when we're all alone

I can hear music I can hear music
The sound of the city baby seems to disappear
I can hear music, sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby, whenever you're near

Lovin' you it keeps me satisfied
And I can't explain, oh no the way I'm feeling inside
You look at me we kiss and then
I close my eyes and here it comes again

I hear the music all the time, yeah
I hear the music, hold me tight now baby
I hear the music all the time, I hear the music
I hear the music (baby) - ah

Break Away
(Wilson/Love)

Break break shakeaway, break breakaway
Now I'm free to do 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 breakaway from that lonely life
And I can do what I wanna do
And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new

When I layed down on my bed I heard voices in my head
Telling me now hey it's only a dream
The more I thought of it I had been out of it
