| 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) | 
| 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 | 
| (Paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| 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 | 
| (Paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise |

| Summer in paradise (paradise) | 
| Summer in paradise |
