It's slap bang at the middle of the green field,
Yet one man is there to change the movements,
Hey, the ball is passed,
The blues are moving ahead,
A blue is covering a yellow,
And a yellow is covering a blue,
Oh! What an impressive Rabona pass,
Again the ball is with a blue,
Two yellows are hurrying up either side,
All the efforts are made by legs,
The blues are about to the goal,
One curved the ball,
A yellow judged with the head,
Now it's yellows',
Sweat is a blessing to relieve the pain,
All are rushing to winning the game,
Now the ball is up in the air,
A blue crossed and bicycled it,
That turned on the blues blood,
Respect!
Again an amazing shoot to the nearer at the goal,
No more thinking,
Blocking the breathing,
The blue is making,
Amazing kicking,
Goalie is jumping,
No ball touching with the hand,
His feet saved the ball in the air,
Rocking cutting amazing blocking,
mesmerizing to see,
Love those legs to the moon and back,
A game finished with no goals,
Life is just like that,
We are trying,
And others also try,
So, at the first chance, we may lose,
But never stop trying!!!

"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.
