[Intro: Brian Wilson]
(1-2-3-4)

[Verse 1: Al Jardine]
Well I'm sitting here on my window sill
Looking down on the neighborhood kids
Thinking in my mind da de da da I left behind
(It's just a harder approach)
The winter's come and gone and now
The winter is well underway
I think it's six full months I've calculated I've been away
(I think it's six full months right?)
(Yeah)
(Let's hear that back)

[Chorus: Al Jardine and (Brian Wilson)]
Man came (ooooh)
I spent my summer
Back home
I spent this sum- summer

[Verse 2: Al Jardine and Brian Wilson]
The mailman came with a (lef-) birthday card
(Whoops) baked farther along
(A birthday card?)
(A birthday card)
I coughed and blew my nose
And thought about the fresh air back home
??? the summer breeze comes gently blowing
Through backyards where folks keep sunflowers growing
When I get home for summer this year
They're heading to the old stomping grounds
I know they'll flip their lid when they see the kid back in town
When I get off at the end of the line
A jet plane hitchhike or train
(hitch- I'll be in the summer)
I'll sp- spend this summer back home
(Ok)
