Barbara Ann (Party! sessions mix, take 1, session #5) Songtext
von The Beach Boys

Wasn′t it? (That's right) I can′t harmony (ah, bar, bar)
What? No (let's go), once was enough
Bar, bar, you don't know how to sing
Baa (baa), baa (baa), black sheep, have you any wool?
(Oh, no sir) I′m gon′ sing this just a little more (now)
Ooh, aw, that was cute

Ah, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann (oh, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Take my hand (ah, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Barbara Ann (bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
You got me rockin' and a rollin′, rockin' and a reelin′
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann

Went to a dance, lookin' for romance
Saw Barbara Ann, so I thought I′d take a chance
On Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
You take my hand (bar, bar, bar, bar, take my hand)
You got me rockin' and a rollin' (ho-oh), rockin′ and a reelin′
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, bar (c'mon, black sheep)


Bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann (oh, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Take my hand (ah, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Barbara Ann (oh, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
You got me rockin′ and a rollin', rockin′ and a reelin'
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann (let′s go, now)

Ow, baby, take it out, let's go see
Take it in, Carl, Hal, and his famous ashtray
Get out of her, man (you're a big dude)
You smell like Rocky, you′re always scratchin′ it (hey, come on)
Scratch it, Carl, scratch it, baby, right over there
Ah, down a little lower, down lower (saw-, tried-)

Tried Peggy Sue (tried Betty Lou), tried Betty Lou (Peggy Sue)
Tried Mary Lou, but I knew she wouldn't do
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Take-, Barbara Ann (bar, bar), woo (take my hand)
You got me rockin′ and a rollin', rockin′ and a reelin'
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann

Bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann (oh, bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Take my hand (bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
Well, Barbara Ann (bar, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann)
You got me rockin′ and a rollin', rockin' and a reelin′
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann


Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (oh)
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann (oh, yeah)
Barbara Ann, Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann, Barbara

You got me rockin′ and a rollin', rockin′ and a reelin'
(Ah, I don′t know) Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann (Ann)
Kick-drum, one more
You got me rockin' and a rollin′, rockin' and a reelin'
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann

Oh, that was fun (I think it′s great)
You got me rockin′ and a rollin', rockin′ and a reelin'
Barbara Ann, bar, bar, bar, Barbara Ann
(Let′s try it once more) one more time, baby
With more artistic flavor (one more time) ah-ah

You got me rockin' and a rollin′ (reelin'), and rockin' and
Oh, Barbara Ann, whoa
You got me rockin′ and you got me rollin′
Oh, Barbara Ann

Thank you very much
Thanks, Dean (heavy)
That's not bad
