Keepin’ the Summer Alive Lyrics
[Intro]
(Summertime)
Summertime
Dit dit, dit dit summertime, oh (Summertime)
Dit dit, dit dit summertime
(Summertime)
[Verse 1]
When it's ice cream weather, get the gang back together
Roll down your windows and ride (Ride)
They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes, dancing in the streets
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Sum-sum-summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Keep the summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Sum-sum-summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(To keep the summer)
[Verse 2]
When it's ice cream weather, all the girls will look better
The boys try to give them a ride
To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Ooh, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer alive)
[Bridge]
Lay down in the sun
And watch the clouds roll by
And being with the one you love
In the summertime
Oh
Dit dit, dit dit, summertime, oh
Dit dit, dit dit, summertime, oh (Summertime)
Summertime, dit dit
Summertime
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
When it's late September, back in school we'll remember
The cure for the wintertime blues
Grab your girl, hit the road, head on down to the beach
You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes
[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Ooh, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Just keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
We'll just keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Yeah, tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
[Outro]
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah...)
When Girls Get Together Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When girls get together
They like to talk about their latest love
And their description seems somehow to fit just like a glove
When girls get together
They don't waste time on things like weather and stuff
They all just play around and never seem to discuss it enough
[Bridge]
This must have been going on prehistory
They may not ever solve the mystery
But they'll go talk until eternity
[Verse 2]
When girls get together
And bring up father or brother or men of their lives
It means so much if she's your sister or your mother or your loving wife
Wah-oh wah-oh-dee-yo
Doot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doo
Doot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doo
[Bridge]
I guess we guys might never really know
How good we've got it but we'd like to show
Just how much that we love them so
[Verse 3]
One bright springtime morning
I overheard an elderly lady's voice
As I walked past her bench she told her friends of her great loss
After they'd gone away
Three little girls came skipping through the park
Talking of little boys and getting home before it's dark
[Outro]
When girls get together
Wah-oh wah-oh wah-oh doot-oot doo
Doot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doot-oot doo
Wah-oh wah-oh-dee-yo
Santa Ana Winds Lyrics
[Intro: Al Jardine]
Here in Southern California, there is a weather condition known as the Santa Ana Winds
[Verse 1: Al Jardine]
Fire wind
Oh, desert wind
She was born in a desert breeze
And wind her way
Through Canyon Way
From the desert to the silvery sea
[Pre-Chorus: Al Jardine & MIke Love]
In every direction
See the perfection
And see the San Gabriel Mountain scene
[Chorus]
Santa Ana winds keep a-blowing 'cross my mind
Santa Ana winds keep blowing 'cross my mind
[Verse 2: Al Jardine]
Fill my sails, oh, desert wind
And hold the waves high for me
Then I will come
And test my skill
Where the Santa Ana winds blow free
[Pre-Chorus: Al Jardine & Mike Love]
In waves of elation
My part of creation
Becoming one with the boundless sea
[Chorus]
Santa Ana winds blow gently 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
Santa Ana winds blow gently 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Al Jardine]
I am the wind, oh, desert wind
On my pilgrimage to the sea
I will prevail
I will not fail
To breathe life into humanity
[Pre-Chorus: Al Jardine & Mike Love]
My song is creation
It'll reach through the nation
Whispering the wisdom and its purity
[Chorus: The Beach Boys & Carl Wilson]
Santa Ana winds keep blowing 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
([?] light this fire deep inside)
Santa Ana winds keep blowing 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
([?] deep inside)
Santa Ana winds keep blowing 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
([?] light this fire deep inside)
Santa Ana winds keep blowing 'cross my mind (Santa Ana winds keep blowing)
