About Funky Pretty

"Funky Pretty" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, and Jack Rieley for American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released on their 1973 album Holland, then placed as the B-side to their single "California Saga: California". Based on astrological themes, Carl Wilson explained that the song was quickly recorded in a "spontaneous flurry". Brian was an active participant in its production, a rare occurrence at the time.

A Pisces lady loves romance (She loves romance)
Her movements tell you at a glance (She loves to dance)
Why they say Pisces rules the dance (She's got the glance)

She values flowers more than gold (She flows like gold)
Thinks of her men as knights of old (She's never bold)
She's very spiritual I'm told (She has never told)
Whoa

But where's my spark in the dark?
Glow glow glow see'mon glow
The funky pretty flame in my heart
Me and my Pisces lady are apart

Her calendar is not like ours (She rules the hours)
The hieroglyphs mark changing hours (She rules the stars)
Her guiding light is from the stars (She's got the powers)
Whoa
A book of verse a jug of wine (She's soft like wine)
She'll always tell what's on your mind (She's much like time)
By just your birthday place and time (She's very fine)

Cause it's a silent night in the sea
And if you're cosmic'ly conscious you'll see
Why she's a princess incarnate to me
Daughter of Neptune the ruler of the sea

The queen in Copenhagee (Funky pretty)
The dream of Amsterdamee (Pretty funky)
The cream of gay Parisee (Funky pretty)
The theme of you Say Asee (Pretty funky)
The scene in Great Britainyee (Funky pretty)
The meaning in Los Angees (Pretty funky)
The heat in Tokyosee (Funky pretty)
The treat in Manhattohsee (Pretty funky)
Yeah yeah funky pretty

She said "Don't worry it's alright
I'm coming back when the aspects are right"
And now I look in the paper each day
Wonderin' what my horoscope will say

Funky (oooo funky)
I still remember funky pretty (ooooo)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

Funky (ooo funky) (something so why)
I still remember funky pretty (something so why)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

Funky (ooo funky) (something so why)
I still remember funky pretty (something so why)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

Funky (ooo funky) (something so why)
I still remember funky pretty (something so why)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

Funky (ooo funky) (something so why)
I still remember funky pretty (something so why)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

Funky (ooo funky) (something so why)
I still remember funky pretty (something so why)
Why shouldn't my Pisces lady tell me why 
(Why can't you tell me why)

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California.
