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
