Summer in Paradise                                (as sung by The Beach Boys with Roger McGuinn from the UK version of the album "Summer in Paradise" 1993) Now everybody wouldn't it be nice If we could bring back summer in paradise We got to do what we know it's right So we can bring back summer in paradise Way back when where our master plan Was havin' fun fun fun as America's band Well we came out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbara Ann Singing of surf and sand Now 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 Everybody knows that you leave what you saw On the way from California to Kokomo We got to keep on rocking we have the world Conciousness, the earth will gonna fix it's mess Looked in the future and what I saw Was a world in harmony with natural law Singing with the whales and the birds up high Summer in Paradise (as sung by the Beach Boys without Roger McGuinn) 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 (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 (Paradise) Summer in paradise (paradise) Summer in paradise
