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

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
