| 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

| Summer in paradise (paradise)

| Summer in paradise (paradise)

| Summer in paradise
|
| They chop down the forests
|
| And in their haste leave a trail of destruction
|
| And toxic waste is leaving 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 living 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

|
| Surfers recycle now don’t you know
|
| Like everyone from california to kokomo
|
| We’re gonna keep on rocking
|
| And raising 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
