Wouldn't It Be Nice Songtext
von The Beach Boys

I′m sorry I made you laugh, Al
Anyway, I just got to thinking about the striped shirts that we used to wear
(What do you mean "used" to wear?) Well, I mean
(What do you mean?) What do you mean?
Al's a reactionary (yeah!)
But the thing is, with the other guys, at least, uh
The shirts, the stripes started to fade, you know
And besides that, after five years they didn′t smell so good, you know
That's why I always try to stay downstage of Al a little bit
(I'm sure you have a-) your socks are-
Your socks are downstage to your ankles too

Wouldn′t it be nice if we were older?
Then we wouldn′t have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?

You know it′s gonna make it that much better
If we can say goodnight and stay together


Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through?

The happy times together we′ve been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Wouldn't it be nice?

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true (run, run with you)
Baby, then there wouldn′t be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married (we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (and then we′d be happy)
Wouldn′t it be nice? Yeah

Good night, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Good night, my baby
Thank you very much, thank you
Al and I were very impressed with Japan
National anthem, everybody stand up, please, and bow
