Last night I went out disco dancing
Saw a foxy girl out on the floor
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need
She came to my table
We both ordered something to drink (something to drink)
And before you know it, what do you think
The music started playin'
Ooh, the music got us so excited
Had to get up on our feet
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need
The place was near closing
I offered to take her home (to take her home)
But she was with someone and left me alone
But I still remember
Ooh, I know I never will forget her
And I hope I get to see her again
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need (never will forget her)
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need (never will forget her)
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need (never will forget her)
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need (never will forget her)
She's got rhythm, she's got something I need (never will forget her)
Hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey (never will forget her)

Hey Little Tomboy
Hey little tomboy, sit here on my lap
I got things that I gotta tell you
No more skateboards, put away your baseball mitt
Your rough livin' days are through
You could find new places to go
You could see that boys love you so
They're doin' it all over the world
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
Time to turn into a girl
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
They're doin' it all over the world
Hey little tomboy, I've had my eyes on you
Thinkin' what a girl you could be
Mm, I smell perfume, let's try some cut-off jeans
Look at all the changes I see
I'm gonna teach you to kiss
You're gonna feel just like this
They're doin' it all over the world
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
Time to turn into a girl
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
They're doin' it all over the world
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
I'm gonna make you a girl
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
You'd make a beautiful girl
Hey little, hey little, hey little tomboy
They're doing it all over the world
I got things that I gotta tell you
No more skateboards, put away your baseball mitt

Kona Coast
It's been my secret passion to try it
In Captain Cook fashion, I can't deny it
I wanna spend my winters on the Kona coast in Hawaii
For years I saved my pennies and planned it
The great Pacific Ocean, we'll span it
I wanna go surfin' where I dig it the most in Hawaii
(Go to Hawaii)
Hawaiian islands beckon (Hawaii)
And I'll be back here someday, I reckon
And pretty island girls greet you with a flower lei
You'll throw it back into the sea
Hopin' you'll be comin' back to Hawaii
Suntanned beauties are everywhere
Lovely island ladies with long dark hair
You're sure to find a honey waitin' for you there in Hawaii
Kani and Wahini and Wahowalis, too
Get a friendly aloha from this mecca to you
They're the friendliest people anywhere in Hawaii
(Go to Hawaii)
Welcome to the island mecca (Hawaii)
I'll learn to talk like a local, I bet ya
And at Lahaina we'll count the shooting stars
We'll watch them fall into the sea
And it will be just you and me in Hawaii
Winter in the sun and surf would sure be nice
In a south sea garden of paradise
I wanna spend the summer on the Kona coast in Hawaii
(Honolulu, Waikiki)
(Do you wanna come along with me?)
(Waimia up to Hanalai)
(I'd love to take you to the islands today)

Sweet Sunday Kinda Love
There's something special about it
Just what, I can't quite say
But there's no doubt that it's different
From any other day
There are no words to exactly describe
What I'm speakin' of
It's just a sweet Sunday kinda love
We'll read the funnies together
And watch some TV too
You can do something for me
And I'll do the same for you
We'll fill the hours with things
That we both most like to do
Spending a sweet Sunday loving you
Why don't we unplug the phone?
Let's pretend nobody's home
Quietly, just you and me
Oh, how nice that will be
All through the week
I'll look back upon that sweet Sunday time
While looking forward to that
Special happiness we'll find
When we awaken to hear from a songbird up above
Sounds of a sweet Sunday kinda love
Baby, I love you
(Sweet Sunday love)
Cuddle up to you, it's so heavenly
Sweet Sunday love
(Sweet Sunday love)
There's no better way we could spend the day
Sweet Sunday love
(Sweet Sunday love)
What a lucky guy, snuggled up to my
Sweet Sunday love
(Sweet Sunday love)
Melt the day away, everything's okay
Sunday love
(Sweet Sunday love)
Oh-whoa ooh-oh
Just what, I can't quite say
But there's no doubt that it's different
From any other day
There are no words to exactly describe
What I'm speakin' of
It's just a sweet Sunday kinda love
We'll read the funnies together

Belles Of Paris
Bells are ringing
Soul of France
Bells are singing
Of romance
C'est tres jolie en Paris in the spring
Watching all the lovers walk along the Seine
Pitch a penny in her like a wishing well
Feed the pigeons in the park near Tour-Eifelle
Bells are ringing
Soul of France
Bells are singing
Of romance
There's a chapel Sacre Coure in quaint Montmarte
In the open air, the painters show their art
In the restaurant sip a beaujolies
What a perfect way to spend a lovely day
Bells are ringing
Soul of France
Bells are singing
Of romance
Sunday morning, hear the bells of Notre Dame
Watching belles jeunes filles and the handsome gendarmes
Near the Arc De Triomphe on the Champs-Elysees
Coffee and croissants in a sidewalk cafe
Some people go to see the races at Deauville
Or weekend by the racing tides of Mont San Michelle
Some take the tour of Chartres on an autobus
While the writers and the artists never leave Mont Parnasse

Pitter Patter
It looks like rain and it's been comin' on for hours
It looks like rain I hear the rumble of thunder showers
Pretty soon the rain will play its sweet refrain
While we listen from inside
And until it stops, we'll hear the drips and drops
From beside the fireside
It looks like rain I hear the rumble of thunder showers
Pretty soon the rain will play its sweet refrain
While we listen from inside
And until it stops, we'll hear the drips and drops
From beside the fireside
So let it rain (pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip
Drop drip drop)
Yeah and we'll be happy when it stops (pitter patter, pitter patter of
The rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
'Cause when it rains (pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin'
Drip drop drip drop)
The ways of love rise in my heart (pitter patter, pitter patter of the
Rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
We won't be sad when there is a storm (ooooo)
And we can be glad (ooooo)
'Cause we can keep warm, yeah, yeah
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter oooo
A rain swept plain
Soon after springtime rains blow over
Will sprout new grain
And miles of fresh green fields of clover
Winter and its cold soon will lose its hold
With the changes spring will bring
Sun comes pourin' down warmin' up the ground
Bringin' new life with the spring
So let it rain (pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin' drip
Drop drip drop)
Yeah and we'll be happy when it stops (pitter patter, pitter patter of
The rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
'Cause when it rains (pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain) (goin'
Drip drop drip drop)
The ways of love rise in my heart (pitter patter, pitter patter of the
Rain) (goin' drip drop drip drop)
And like the risin' tides love is growin' stronger (ooooo)
Let's ride out the storm just a little bit longer yeah (ooooo)
Listen to the rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter of the rain (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter (goin' drip drop drip drop)
Pitter patter oooo

My Diane
Now that I have lost my Diane
There's no plans as to where to go
It was hard to lose my Diane
Now I just miss her so
Everything is old and nothing is new
All I ever do is think of you
Memories haunt me night and day
(Ah)
Do you think of me, my Diane
Or have you forgotten me?
Did you think that you were chained down?
And now that you are free
Everything is wrong and nothing is right
I want you back with all of my might
Shadows hanging over my head
(Ah)
I love you, Diane
I miss you, Diane
Everything is wrong and nothing is right
I want you back with all of my might
Everything is wrong and nothing is right
I want you back with all of my might
Everything is wrong and nothing is right
There's no plans as to where to go
It was hard to lose my Diane
Now I just miss her so
Everything is old and nothing is new
All I ever do is think of you
Memories haunt me night and day
(Ah)
Do you think of me, my Diane
Or have you forgotten me?
Did you think that you were chained down?
And now that you are free
Everything is wrong and nothing is right

Matchpoint Of Our Love
It's been a long, long while
Since we've been strung out on love
And there's no mask of a smile
That can hide what we're thinkin' of
From your heart I hear
Only distant echoes of empty love
I guess this must be the match point of our love
Early in the game
When you broke me just like a serve (match point, match point)
We should've walked off the court
But we both didn't have the nerve (match point, match point)
So we volleyed a while with small talk and a smile
And as push comes to shove
I'd say this must be the match point of our love
No one ever held me the way you did
No one could ever love me the way you did
How could love slip away from me?
In life's lonely game
Love too often can let you down (match point, match point)
And though no one's to blame
Love is still the only game in town (match point, match point)
When it's love's last play
You can only say by the stars above
That this must be the match point of our love
Da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)
Da-da-da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)
Da-da-da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)
Da-da-da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)
Since we've been strung out on love
And there's no mask of a smile
That can hide what we're thinkin' of
From your heart I hear
Only distant echoes of empty love
I guess this must be the match point of our love
Early in the game
When you broke me just like a serve (match point, match point)
We should've walked off the court
But we both didn't have the nerve (match point, match point)
So we volleyed a while with small talk and a smile
And as push comes to shove

No one ever held me the way you did
No one could ever love me the way you did
How could love slip away from me?
In life's lonely game
Love too often can let you down (match point, match point)
And though no one's to blame
Love is still the only game in town (match point, match point)
When it's love's last play

Da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)
Da-da-da da-da, da-da da da-da-da (match point, match point)

Winds Of Change
Winds of change blow 'round my door
Is this the year I've been waiting for?
Worlds in motion endlessly
Cosmic ocean flows into my heart
Is this the year I've been waiting for?
Worlds in motion endlessly
Cosmic ocean flows into my heart
Part of me would like to be (would like to be)
A shining lighthouse for all to see (for all to see)
When the dark night hides the sun
Shine a light for everyone to see
Isn't that the way it should be?
I am no stranger to a world of change
There are always situations to rearrange
But there's something special 'bout this quiet dawn
It seems to sing a song to everyone
It's dawning on and on and on
Of change are here at last (are here at last)
The clouds have lifted, the storm has passed (the storm has passed)
Nights we've known are on the run
And there's a bright and shining sun
For everyone to see
Winds of change
(Won't last forever)
(Won't last forever)
(Won't last forever)

M.I.U. Album is the 22nd studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on September 25, 1978. Characterized for its easy-listening sound, the album was produced by Al Jardine and touring member Ron Altbach during one of the most acrimonious periods in the band's history. It sold poorly, peaking at number 151 in the U.S, and was met with confused reactions from critics and fans.
The album was created to fulfill contractual obligations to Reprise Records after the group had shelved Adult/Child. It was largely recorded in late 1977 at its namesake: Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa. Only Jardine, Mike Love, and Brian Wilson appear consistently throughout the album, with Carl and Dennis Wilson's contributions confined to a pair of tracks. Brian was credited as "executive producer". It includes the songs "Hey Little Tomboy", the only track salvaged from Adult/Child, and "My Diane", written about Brian's affair with his sister-in-law, as well as cover versions of the 1950s hits "Peggy Sue" and "Come Go with Me".
M.I.U. continues to be widely regarded as one of the worst Beach Boys albums. In 1981, "Come Go with Me" reached number 18 when it was issued as a single from the compilation Ten Years of Harmony. In 1998, several songs that were intended for the unreleased album Merry Christmas from the Beach Boys, which was produced during the M.I.U. sessions, were released on the compilation Ultimate Christmas.
