_ _ _ The first seminal _ _ influence _ _ N _ that began to take shape for Petsounds in E that year was.
the recording of Sloop John B.
Al Jardine brought over the lyrics and he played me the song and he goes, can you arrange it?.
And I said, sure.
So I arranged it.
It was done in the Kingston Trio.
_ And we took it and adapted the arrangement.
It began to develop pretty incredible _ Ab dimensions of harmonies and production value that we.
were starting to see from Brian.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ We come on to Sloop John B.
_ My grandfather and me.
_ _ Around Nassau town we Eb did a roll.

_ _ Why don't they let me Db go home.
Yeah, yeah.
Well Ab I feel so broke out, Eb I want Ab to go home.
He did it, he did it, he did it.
The first day he got drunk, _ _ and broke him a captive truck.
_ .
_ _ Constable had to come and take him Eb away.
_ _ _ _ .
Chair of Ab Johnstone, why _ don't you leave me Db alone.
