The Beach Boys Surf's Up Lyrics

The diamond necklace played the p___.
Hand in hand, some drummed along
to a handsome mannered baton.

A blind class aristocracy.
Back through the op'ra glass you see
the pit and the pendulum drawn.

Columnated ruins domino!

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop.
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me.
Dim chandelier awaken me
to a song dissolved in the dawn.

The music hall - a costly bow.
The music all is lost for now,
to a muted trumpeter swan.

Columnated ruins domino!

Canvas the town and brush the back-drop.
Are you sleeping? Brother John?

Dove nested towers-
the hour was strike the street, quicksilver moon.

Carriage across the fog-
two-step to lamplight cellar tune.

The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne.

The glass was raised, the fired-rose,
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting.
While at Port, adieu or die.

A choke of grief, heart-hardened I,
beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry.

Surf's Up! Mmmm,
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join the young
and often spring you gave.

I heard the word - wonderful thing! A children's song.
Child, child-the child... Father of the man.
A children's song-have you listened as they play?
Their song is love and the children know the way.
That's why the child, child, child-the child...
Father of the man.
