Summer in Paradise [alternate version] Lyrics by Beach Boys

Now everybody wouldn't it be nice
If we could bring back summer in paradise?
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

Way back when, well our master plan
Was havin' fun, fun, fun as America's band
Well, we came out rockin' with Rhonda and Barbar' Ann
Singin' of surf and sand

Well, 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

Now everybody wouldn't it be nice
If we could bring back summer in paradise?
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

(Paradise, paradise)
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

Everyone knows that you reap what you sow
All the way from California to Kokomo
We gotta keep on rockin', we help the world consciousness
We ever gonna fix this mess?

Looked in the future and what I saw
Was a world in harmony with natural law
Singin' with the whales and the birds up hi-i-igh

Now everybody wouldn't it be nice
If we could bring back summer in paradise?
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

(Paradise, paradise)
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

Now everybody wouldn't it be nice
If we could bring back summer in paradise?
We gotta do what we know is right
So we can bring back summer in paradise

(Composers: Mike Love, Terry Melcher & Craig Fall)
