Summer Hit Parade
Summer Hit Parade
Here comes summer -
In the good old summertime –
In those lazy, hazy, crazy days -
A summer breeze blows through my mind –
The scent of jasmine – summer mood
On summer nights –
“Oh – oh - oh!”
Slammin” the screen door
When elephants play on the lawn
“Doot, doot, doot – out my back door”
No summertime blues –
Hot and gritty –
When summer comes to the city
Staying cool up on the roof
On the blue lagoon – in the boondocks –
Fishin’ in the dark – crusin’ on warm summer nights -
Or on the boardwalk,
Like Ipanema,
“Down by the sea”
Girls in itsy bitsy teeny polkadot bikinis
For boys of summer
Surfer girls – beach boys driving woodies –
Summer girls - surf and sand – barefoot blue jean night –
Surfin’ in the USA –
Love letters in the sand – barefootin’ -
Suntan cream – building sand castles for
A summer place –
Warm summer mood -
Drinking slowly the summer wine
“Wella, wella, wella, wella!”
Living’s easy on the summer side of life –
“Tell me more! Tell me more!”
Hot fun in the summer sun
“Sum – sum – sum –sum – sum- sum - summertime”
Cooled by the summer wind –
“Sing along with us –de-de-de-de-de-de!”
“Come and sing with me! Da-da-da-da-da-da!”
And when the summer rain beats upon my windowpane
I’ll remember you
All summer long – the long, hot, summer -
Even as I see you in September
Suddenly last summer a summer song –
Summer love - my sweetheart of summer.
All summer long makes me feel fine! Summertime! “Whoa–oh –oh!” “Do-wah!”
