[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
(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
[Chorus]
(Paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
(Paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise
[Outro]
(Paradise)
Summer in paradise (paradise)
Summer in paradise [x3]
