(Hey yeah Marcella)
(Hey yeah Marcella)
She’s a bright girl
(Hey yeah Marcella)
Hey hey
(Hey yeah Marcella)

Mystic maiden’s more than soft and sexy
She can mess my mind with the stuff that she knows
Her new found beauty goes beyond her covering
And sets a flame in her soul

One arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that’ll knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

(Hey yeah Marcella)
(Hey yeah Marcella)
She’s a bright girl bom bom bom bom bom
(Hey yeah Marcella)
Hey hey
(Hey yeah Marcella)

Brave new woman standing proud and dazzling
Grips the goal that eluded her soul
Direction bringing her to now’s tomorrow
And my love for her still grows

One arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that’ll knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

(Hey yeah Marcella)
(Hey yeah Marcella)
She’s a bright girl
(Hey yeah Marcella)
Hey hey
(Hey yeah Marcella)

One arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

One arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

When she puts one arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

When she puts one arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

When she puts one arm over my shoulder
Sandals dance at my feet
Eyes that knock you right over
Ooo Marcella’s so sweet

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Marcella" means the words set to the music of Marcella, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Beach Boys. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics.
