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 night times warm and out of sight Been so long (Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now) (Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now) Well I've been thinking 'bout 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
