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!”

A great poem that has me now trying to identify every song... I'm nearly there. Any poem that references The Isley Brothers' classic is a winner in my poetry book anyway.

Love this! Those summer songs have an indelible place in my heart. Summer meant freedom from school, long warm days, baseball, vacations, getting together with friends, riding bikes all day, splashing in the pool or ocean, romance, making music. What a great stroll this was, Sam! Congratulations for your #1 hit ~ John
