Good Vibrations: Alternate Edit 8/24/66 Lyrics

And she's already workin' on my brain
I, I only looked in her eyes
But I picked up something I just can't explain

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oh well I'm picking up)
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)

I bet I know what she's like
And I can feel how right she'd be for me
It's weird how she comes in so strong
And I wonder what she's pickin' up from me
See The Beach Boys Live
Get tickets as low as $34
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oh well I'm picking up)
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)

Aaaaah
Ah, my, my, what elation
Ah, my, my, what a sensation
Ah, my, my, what elation

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a happenin' with her
(Hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh, hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh)
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a happenin' with her
(Hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh, hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh)
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a happenin' with her
(Hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh, hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum, oh-oh)
(Hum-be-dum, hum-be-dum)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Well I'm picking up)
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah)
(Oom-bop-bop, good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Bop-bop, excitations)
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Bop-bop, exci-t-ta-t-tations)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
