Summer is almost gone

The mornings dark and the nights are gettin' long.

I've got about a week until

I'm finished flippin' burgers in that seaside grille.

After work, when I get done

I'll hit the boards and have some fun.

 

Yea, this was the Summer of My Life!

 

How could I ask for anything more.

Spending the summer down at the shore.

 

Never quite learned to surf.

I'd paddle out and hang with Murph.

He said he had a degree

in something he called waveology.

Didn't ever shoot the curl

but I sure looked good on the beach with the girls.

 

Yea, this was the Summer of My Life.

 

Sometimes I feel like  the Duke of Earl.

I am the luckiest fool in the world.

 

Teasing Shoo-bes walking on the beach

Its not nice but we all need relief.

So pale when they swim in the ocean

I wish I was the one selling suntan lotion.

Packed up at the end of the day

They have to leave, but I get to stay.

Ahh, this was the Summer of My Life.

 

I've got a few bucks and an old bike I found.

Don't go too far, but I sure get around.

 

Playing pinball at Sid's arcade

Don't like the Skee-ball or those video games.

Had a high score, it didn't last

Too many Tommys, but it sure was a blast.

Strolling down the Promenade

A girl on each arm, I've got it made!

 

Yea, this was the Summer of My Life.

 

Don't need a real job or steady girlfriend

I just need a summer that won't ever end.

 

Ahh, this was the Summer of My Life.

This was the Summer of My Life.

This was the Summer of My Life.

Summer of My Life
