Little Honda
Beach Boys · The Very Best of The Beach Boys
I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt itÂ’ll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear, it's all right
Second gear, itÂ’ll be right
Third gear, hang on tight
Faster, it's all right
It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys, that two-wheel ride
WeÂ’ll ride on out of the town to anyplace I know you like
It climbs a hill like a match of skills my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turn, lean with me, and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights, so we can ride my Honda the night
We're going down to the Honda shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt itÂ’ll take you anywhere you want me to

It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike

Little Honda
Released on The Very Best of The Beach Boys, "Little Honda" stands as a quintessential example of the group's mid-1960s pop-rock sound. The track features the band's signature harmonies and upbeat tempo, characteristic of their work during the era when they were redefining the American beach boy aesthetic. While the song is often associated with the California surf and rock genre, its catchy melody and vocal arrangement reflect the polished production typical of their greatest hits compilations. As part of their broader discography, the recording captures the youthful energy and melodic sensibilities that made The Beach Boys a defining act of the decade.
