[Verse 1 - Mike Love]
The Sunday morning gospel goes good with the soul
There's blues, folk, and country, and rock like a rolling stone
The world could come together as one
If everybody under the sun

[Chorus - All Group]
Add some music to your day
(Add some music add some add some music to your day)
A bob didit a bop didit

[Verse 2 - Mike Love]
You'll hear it while you're walking by a neighbor's home
You'll hear it faintly in the distance when you're on the phone
You're sitting in a dentist's chair
And they've got music for you there, to

[Chorus]

[Verse 3 - All Group and Bruce Johnston]
Add some music, music everywhere (add some music)
Add some, add some, add some, add some music (add some music)
Your doctor knows it keeps you calm
Your preacher adds it to his psalms, so

[Chorus]

[Bridge - All Group and Carl Wilson]
Music
(Add some music, add some music)
When you're alone
(Add some music, add some music)
Is like a companion
(Add some music, add some music)
For your lonely soul
Oo oo oo woo oo woo oo oo oo oooo

[Verse 4 - Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, Mike Love]
When day is over
I close my tired eyes
Music is in my soul
At a movie you can feel it touching your heart
And on every day of the summertime
You'll hear children chasing ice cream carts
They'll play it on your wedding day
There must be about a million ways

[Chorus]

[Outro - All Group]
Add some music to your day[x5]

The Beach Boys

The Beach Boys are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and the first American pop band to reach the 50-year milestone. Their vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable and enduring of the rock and roll era.

Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, by Brian Wilson, his two brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and classmate Al Jardine, the group’s first single “Surfin'” got them signed to Capitol Records and they quickly became one of the most popular and successful artists of the surf music craze of the 1960s. From 1962 to 1966, The Beach Boys scored over twenty top 40 hits in the US including the chart-toppers “I Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda” & “Good Vibrations” along with the top 5’s “Surfin USA”, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “California Girls”, “Barbara Ann” & “Sloop John B”. Several of the band’s singles also found top 40 success in Canada, Australia, Sweden and the UK. In 1965, de facto leader Brian Wilson suffered a mental breakdown due to the stress of writing, producing & touring combined with substance abuse issues, causing him to step down and stop traveling with the band on tour.

Inspired by producer Phil Spector and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian focused on studio work, determined to keep the group relevant as the surf music scene was fading with their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Despite tension between members in the studio about this new direction, lack of faith from the record label, mixed reviews, and comparatively lukewarm reception initially in the US, the album still found massive success in the UK and earned accolades from fellow artists including The Beatles, who acknowledged that the album was their inspiration to further push the boundaries of pop music with their landmark album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Eventually Pet Sounds would be acknowledged as one of the greatest albums ever recorded by several media outlets like The Times, Mojo Magazine, The Guardian, VH1, BBC and Rolling Stone.
