Notes
-
- The original "Smile" version features a lead vocal from Brian, beautiful harpsichord, and nice vocals from the Beach Boys.
- This version has a lullaby vocal from Carl, creepy organ, and what sounds like the Honeys.
- Features a bizarr e, "stoned" laughing interlude that is basically a re-arranged version of the "hey baba ruba" part that was faded onto the "Smile" version of "Vegatables" (as heard on the Good Vibrations box set. It has the same chord pattern as the "dit-dit-sit, heroes and villains" that was to have been part of the original "Smile" and single releases of "Heroes and Villians" (Parts 1 and 2).
- Lyrics
-
She belongs there, left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the
Won- won- wonderful
She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket quite young
And loving her mother and father
Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into her
Won- won- won- wonderful
Na na na na na na na
Hey bobba reba
----Everybody should
Wa bobba lee
Just start collecting
Hey bobba reba
Oh yeah
Wa bobba lee
Kept a-comin on
Hey bobba
Just to be a cool guy
Hey bobba
He bobba reba
Don't think you're God
He bobba reba
Vibrations
Go for a ride
Wa bobba lee
Just go for a
He bobba reba
Just keep goin
Wa bobba lee
Said it
Just keep goin'
Hey bobba
All you gotta do is
Hey bobba
Cool it vibrations
He bobba reba
Ah just gotta do it vibrate

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
She'll return in love with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She'll smile and thank God
For one won- won- wonderful
Na na na na na na na
