The Beach Boys - 15 Big Ones Lyrics






Rock And Roll Music

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I have no kicks against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darned fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sound just like a symphony

That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she could hear my man a-wailin' sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man they was blowing like a hurricane

That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down south they gave a jubilee
I tell you folks they had a jamboree
And drinking beer from a wooden cup
The folks a-dancin' got all shook up

They started playing that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old way you use it
It's gotta be rock and roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
Say if you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
It's gotta be some of that

Its OK

Fun is in, it's no sin, it's that time again
To shed your load, hit the road on the run again
Summer skies in our eyes and a warmer sun
It's one for all, all for one, all for all out fun

Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it

Lookin' good Down the hood Of a funky ride
On the way To the tide Just to tan your hide
In the shade Lemonade In the sun ocean spray
To get your face In the race Or lay back's no disgrace

Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it

It's OK to get out there and Have some fun
By yourself maybe Or else with a special one.
Good or bad Glad or sad It's all gonna pass
So it's OK Let's all play And enjoy it while it lasts

Gotta go to it
Gonna go through it
Gotta get with it

Find a ride
Find a ride
Find a ride (In the sum-sum-summertime)
Find a ride (In the sum-sum-summertime)
Find a ride (In the sum-sum-summertime)

Had To Phone Ya

Had to phone ya'
Had to phone ya' just to talk to you
Had to phone ya' just to tell ya' I was missing you

It lifts my spirits every single time
Sometimes you're busy for awhile
But when you get through

A-when I phone ya'
California's not so far away
You're not alone ya' know I'm only just a dial away

I visualize that you're looking fine
Feels so good when you come on the line

You (you) you (you) you (you) you (you)
You (you) you (you) you (you) you (you)
You (you) you (you) you (you) you (you)

Everyones In Love With You

Oooooo-ooooo-ooooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo

Everyone's in love with you
But you can't fall in love with anyone
Still everyone's in love with you
Though you can't fall in love with only one

So many people have had a love affair
Have had a love to share like mine
But I tell you people
I found something new
A love of a different kind

Everyone's in love with you
Though most just barely glimpse a part of you
They all can see your love shine through
It come s from deep within the heart of you

So many people have had their love affairs
Had their loves to share like mine
Now I tell you people
I witnessed something new
A love that could only be divine

Everyone's in love with you
And though you can't belong to only one
Still everyone's in love with you
Because (beacause) you gave your love
(Beacause) Because you gave your love (you gave your love)
Because you gave your love to everyone

That Same Song

Well back in time with just a rhythm and rhyme
Gregorian chants were a real big thing
They took that chant and added harmony
It was a different sound
But had the same meaning

I know (I know) I know (I know)
It took us a long while
To go (to go) to go (to go)
And find us a rock style
I know (I know) I know (I know)
That we can take it one more mile

Because
We're singing that same song
We're still singing that same song
We're singing that same song
That same song
That same song

The rock of ages
Built that rockin' sound
'Til more and more people start to come around
They worshipped in church
And built that great big choir
It grew and it grew
Until it spread like fire

I know (I know) I know (I know)
It took us a long while
To go (to go) to go (to go)
And find us a rock style
I know (I know) I know (I know)
That we can take it one more mile

Because
We're singing that same song
We're still singing that same song
We're singing that same song
That same song
That same song

Same song
Oh yeah
Same song
Oh yeah
Same song that same song

Same song
Oh yeah
Same song
Oh yeah
Same song that same song

TM Song

Yes you are
Listen
I'm in the driveway
Hey what are you talking about?
I saw you on the lawn
Hey you
Hey what?
Will you will you get off my front lawn with your car?
Ahh shut up
What are you doin'?
Hey he can't talk to him like that
Yeah what's goin' on?
I'm gonna call the police
Hey listen
What are you talking about?
I saw the whole thing and you're innocent
You keep out of it
Come on guys let's take off
What are you talking about?
Ah why don't you go arrest me from here?

Whew it's time for me to meditate

What time is it?
How long has it been?
Bubbles and ripples floatin' through my mind
I must have drifted away

Since I sat down
Where have I been?
The mantra my mantra must have took me away
It must have took me away

Maharishi gave it to me
And I wonder if it set me free
And it did
And he'll tell you "sometimes it goes real fast and other times it goes
Real slow
Any way you do it it's bound to work I know"

One two three four

Transcendental meditation should be part of your time
It's simple it's easy as making this rhyme
Transcendental meditation really works for me good
More much more than I thought it would

Palisades Park

Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

Last night I took a walk in the dark
A steamin' place called Palisades Park
Turned around to see what I could see
That's where the girls are

I took a ride on a shoopby shoo
The girl I sat beside was awful cool
And when we start I gave that girl a hug
My heart was flyin'
Up like a rocket ship
Down like a roller coaster
Left like a loopdy loop
And around like a merry go round

We ate and ate at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And we we quit I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park

Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'

Yeah
Oh my God
Those coconuts are bad in the ass damn (???)

We ate and ??? at a hot dog stand
We danced around to a rockin' band
And we we quit I gave that girl a hug
In the tunnel of love

You never know how great a kiss can be
Until you stop at the bottom of a ferris wheel
In the tunnel of love down at Palisades Park

Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park
Run run runnin' all the rides are runnin'
Down at Palisades Park

Susie Cincinnati

Well Susie Cincinnati got a groovy little motor car
She lives for the night and her husband's a security guard
Her looks aren't exactly a plus
But it doesn't matter to us
Because she knows where it's at
And she gets you there in seconds flat

She knows all the honkies
And the kids are all home in bed (ooh, ride, Susie Cincinnati, ride)
She'd rather do this
Than anything else instead (ooh, ride, Susie Cincinnati)
She got the nicotine fit
And before she discovered it
Everybody in the back seat suffocated

Susie Cincinnati, we thought you were a winner (whoa, come on, Susie, wake yourself up)
But Susie Cincinnati, city's number one sinner (yeah)
Susie Cincinnati, we thought you were a winner (yeah)
But Susie Cincinnati, city's number one sinner (whoa)
Susie Cincinnati, we thought you were a winner (get yourself together)
But Susie Cincinnati, city's number one sinner (yeah)
Susie Cincinnati, we thought you were a winner (yeah)
But Susie Cincinnati, city's number one sinner
Whoa, yeah

She'll always pick you up
When the others go and let you down (ooh, ride, ooh, ride, Susie Cincinnati, ride)
In her little red cab, she is scootin' all over town (ooh, ride, ooh, ride, Susie Cincinnati)
She's got a money meter too
All polished up, it shines for you
But it's just for looks 'cause she'll give the ride free to you

Blueberry Hill

I found my thrill
On Blueberry hill
On Blueberry hill
When I found you

The moon stood still (moon stood still)
On Blueberry hill (Blueberry hill)
It lingered until (lingered until)
My dream true (true)

Though we're apart (we are apart)
I think of you still (think of you still)
For you were my friend (you were my friend)
On Blueberry hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart (we are apart)
I think of you still (think of you still)
For you were my friend (you were my friend)

In The Still Of The Night (I'll Remember)

In the still of the night
I held you, held you tight
Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
In the still of the night

I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hope and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night

So before the light
Hold me again with all of your might

Just Once In My Life

There's a lot of things I want
A lot of things that I'd like to be
But girl I don't foresee
A rags to riches story for me
I've given up on schemes
Cause everyone fell through
I've given up so many things
Don't ask me to give up on you

And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that you'll be staying

I couldn't face the day
If you weren't here by my side
And if you went away
Then I'd be left without any pride
There's just one little dream
I've got to make come true
There's just one round I've got to win
I can't be a loser with you

And baby baby
Just once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that you'll be staying

Every pot of gold
Ain't so easy to find
And if you'll stand by me
Girl I'll give you some of mine
I can't give you the world
But I'll work hard for you girl
Well I'll work hard
Every day
Baby don't leave me
Now say you won't leave me
Do this for me baby

Once in my life
Let me get what I want
Girl don't let me down
Just once in my life
Let me hold onto
A good thing I found
Don't let me down
Baby say that

15 Big Ones is the 20th studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released July 5, 1976, by Brother/Reprise. It includes a mix of original songs and renditions of rock 'n' roll and R&B standards. The LP was the band's first album with production credited solely to Brian Wilson since Pet Sounds (1966). As such, its release was accompanied by a controversial media campaign that declared his comeback as an active member of the Beach Boys' recording and touring group.

Following their previous album, Holland (1973), the band had focused on touring and attracting bigger concert audiences, especially after the unexpected success of their greatest hits compilation Endless Summer (1974). They attempted to record a new album at Caribou Ranch studio in late 1974, but it was soon abandoned, partly due to Wilson being unable or unwilling to participate. At the end of 1975, his bandmates and manager Stephen Love prevailed upon him to produce the group's next release, hoping that a new album bearing his production label credit would prove lucrative.

Most of 15 Big Ones was hastily recorded in early 1976 at the band's Brother Studios. The project was marred by creative disputes, time constraints, health issues among the band members, and interference from Brian's psychologist, Eugene Landy. One of the proposed titles, Group Therapy, was rejected in favor of a title that referred to both the number of tracks and the group's 15th anniversary. To support the album, Brian joined his bandmates on a major concert tour for the first time since 1964. The group also commissioned an NBC television special, titled The Beach Boys, that aired in August.

Despite mixed reviews, 15 Big Ones was the Beach Boys' best-selling album of new material since 1965, earning a gold certification from the RIAA. It peaked at number 8 in the U.S. and number 31 in the UK. Three singles were issued: a cover of Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music" (number 5) and the originals "It's OK" (number 29) and "Everyone's in Love with You". The former two were their only top 30 hits in this decade. Brian later referred to 15 Big Ones and its 1977 follow-up, The Beach Boys Love You, as his favorite and most artistically representative work.
