"Do It Again" — 1968. #1 UK, #20 US. A nostalgic return to surfing as a symbol of lost innocence.
It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when their
Hair was soft and long and the
Beach was the place to go
Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine the
California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and
Do it again
With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long

All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again
Ow!
