This poem is about friendship and what a friend should be.
A good friend is someone very rare.
No matter what, they will always care.
and be ready to lend a hand,
for they will always understand.
The pain and sorrow that we’ve had
somehow doesn’t seem quite as bad.
All the good times that we have known,
don’t fade away, but still have grown.
A friend is someone who helps to guide,
I know that you are on my side.
If we go our separate ways,
I will remember our fun days.
Your one person
I will always defend,
for I’m very proud
to call you, my friend.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Nothing like a good friend. Always there to lend an ear. I agree.
