Way back when well our master plan
Was havin fun fun fun as Americas 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 lifestyles 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 wouldnt 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
Cant 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 were all under attack
Its the eve of destruction or so they say
But mankind doesnt 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 dont you know
Like evryone from California to Kokomo
Were 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
Theres 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
