[Verse 1]
Teenage gamblers sitting in a Rambler
Listening to the radio
And then standing in the grandstand
Following the game plan
Watching life's plays unfold
You fell in love with a pretty cheerleader
I even married one
And we once rode a cab out in Salt Lake City
Coming up with "Fun Fun Fun"
(Fun fun fun)

[Chorus: Mike Love & Carl Wilson]
They say that Brian is back
Well I've known him for oh so long
They say Brian is back
Well I never knew that he was gone
Still they say "Brian is back"
I know he's had his ups and downs
Well they say "Brian is back"
But in my heart he's always been around

[Verse 2]
I still remember his sounding sweet and tender
Singing "Danny Boy" on Grandma's lap
And those harmony highs
Could bring tears to my eyes
I guess I'm just a sentimental sap
"Good Vibrations" caused such a sensation
Not to mention old Pet Sounds
And we traveled the world as the banners unfurled
I guess you'd have to say we got around
(We got around we got around)
[Chorus: Mike Love & Carl Wilson]
They say that Brian is back
Well I've known him for oh so long
They say Brian is back
Well I never knew that he was gone
Still they say "Brian is back"
I know he's had his ups and downs
Well they say "Brian is back"
But in my heart he's always been around

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Mike Love & Carl Wilson]
They say that Brian is back
Well I've known him for oh so long
They say Brian is back
Well I never knew that he was gone
Still they say "Brian is back"
I know he's had his ups and downs
Well they say "Brian is back"
But in my heart he's always been around

[Outro: Carl Wilson]
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
