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
