If everybody had an ocean
Across the U. S. A.
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd see '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 Narrabeen
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 Onofre and Sunset
Redondo Beach L. A.
All over La Jolla
At Wa'imea 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.

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 blastin'
Goes cruisin' just as fast as she can, now
And she'll have 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.
She makes the Indy 500
Look like the Roman Chariot Race, now.
A lot of guys try to catch her,
But she leads 'em on a wild goose chase, now
And she'll have 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
And since he took your set of keys,
You've been thinkin' that your fun is all through, now,
But you can come along with me
'Cause we've got a lot of things to do, now
And we'll have 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.

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

Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
But she'll walk a thunderbird Like she'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

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 nough to make you flip your lid
There's one more thing I got the pink slip daddy

And coming 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
She's my little deuce coupe you don't know what I got

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 girls
Wish they all could be Californian
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 the wild island girls
By a palm tree in the sand.
I've been all around this
Great big world
And I seen all kind 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 girls
Wish they all could be Californian
I wish they all could be California girls

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

Well, it's been building up inside of me
For oh, I don't know how long.
I don't know why, but I keep thinkin'
Something's bound to go wrong,

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

I guess I should have kept my mouth shut
When I start 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 want to drive
When she says,
"Don't worry baby.
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry baby."

She told me, "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew 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.
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry baby.
Everything will turn out alright.
Don't worry baby."

When I grow up to be a man

Will I dig the same things
That turned me on as a kid?
Will I look back and say that
I wish I hadn't done what I did?

Will I joke around
And still take both sides?
When I grow up to be a man?

Will I look for the same things
In a woman that I dig in a girl?
Will I settle down fast
Or will I first wanna travel the world?

Now I'm young and free
But how will it be?
When I grow up to be a man

Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo

Will my kids be proud
Or think their old man's really a square?
When they're out having fun, yeah
Will I still wanna have my share

Will I love my wife
For the rest of my life
When I grow up to be a man?

What will I be when I grow up to be a man?
Won't last forever
It's kinda sad
Won't last forever
It's kinda sad
Won't last forever

After 6 hours of school
I had enough for the day
I hit the radio dial
And turn it up all the way

CHORUS
I gotta dance
Right on the spot
The beats really hot
Dance
Dance
Dance yeah!

When i feel put down I try to shake it off quick
With my chick by my side
The radio does the trick

CHORUS

At the weekend dance
We like to show up last
I play it cool when it's slow
and jump it up when its fast

CHORUS x2 then fade out

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

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

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 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, yeah, yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

Well. first mate, he got drunk
Broke in the captain'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 sails
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
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 sails
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

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

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

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
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows
God only knows what I'd be without you

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

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 it's 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 never ending
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 let's talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice

Good night baby
Sleep tight baby

Good night baby
Sleep tight baby

I've been in this town so long that 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

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

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy 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

Sweet sweet wild honey bee
Eat up eat up eat up honey

Mama I'm tellin' you as sure as I'm standing here
She's my girl and that's the way I'm keeping it now mama dear
No good will it do you to stand there and frown at me
The girl's got my heart and my love's coming down on me
My love's coming down since I got a taste of wild honey
You know she's got the sweetness of a honey bee
Wild honey
She got it on and stung me good yes sirree

With all the other stud bees buzzing all around her hive
She singled me out single handed took me alive
Well can you can you gonna take my life eating up her wild honey

(Sweet sweet wild honey bee)
(Eat up eat up eat up honey)

Oh mama she's sweeter
Gettin' sweeter
Sweeter sweeter
Sweet

Wild honey
Let me tell you how she really got to my soul
It ain't funny
The way she make wanna sing a little rock 'n' roll
There's nothing quite nice as a kiss of wild honey
I break my back workin' just to save me some money
So I can spend my life with her
Sock it to me wild honey
Wild honey she's mine
Wild honey she's mine

It's automatic when I talk with old friends
Conversations turn 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
With 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...
It's all right...jonas pappa luktar

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.

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

Ohh darlin'
My darlin' you're so fine
Ohhhh-hhh-hhh ... k9ssaNs pappa luktar

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

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

Bluebirds over the mountain
Seagulls over the sea
Bluebirds over the mountain
Bring my baby to me

A boy and a girl they once found love
To each it seemed like heaven above
He looked into her eyes and said
Ooo wee baby you're so good for my head

Bluebirds over the mountain
Seagulls over the sea
Bluebirds over the mountain
Bring my baby to me

Oh everyone in every land
Please give me a helping hand
If you see her all alone
Oh tell my baby "won't you please come home?"

Bluebirds over the mountain
Seagulls over the sea
Bluebirds over the mountain
Bring my baby to me

Oh bring my baby back
I don't know why she's been so long
But all I know is that she's gone
Oh bring my baby back to me
Well I'm in pain can't you see

A boy and a girl they once found love
To each it seemed like heaven above
I guess that's why we fell in love
And now she's gone and all I have to say is

Bluebirds over the mountain
Seagulls over the sea yeah
Bluebirds over the mountain
Bring my baby to me

Bring my baby
Oooo Baby
Oooo oooo oooo oooo

Oo... Ah...

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

I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

Loving 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 the
I close my eyes and here it comes again

I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

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)

Ahh...

I can hear music
I can hear music
The sound of the city baby
Seems to disappear, oh when
I can hear music
Sweet sweet music
Whenever you touch me baby
Whenever you're near

(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)

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Let me tell you now well got me in a fix
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits
I had to walk a long long way to town
Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on
Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions
I gonna want to be right off for home

Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you
A summer's day out in California
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Give me them cotton fields
(It was back in Louisiana)
Let me hear it for the cotton fields
(Just about a mile from Texarkana)
You know that there's just no place like home

Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown
In them old cotton fields back home

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).
