Summer loving had me a bla-ast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days drifting away
To-ah! Oh, the summer nights
Pa para, pa para, pa para, ra, ra, ra
Pa para, pa para, pa para, ra, ra, ra
Oh ha, oh ha, ¡Oh yeah!
She swam by me, she got a cra-amp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Dow, doobie do, doobie do
Doobie, doobie, doobie
Dow, doobie do, doobie do
Doobie, doobie, doobie, dow
Took her bowling in the Arca-ade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up 'til ten o'clock
Summer fling, don't mean a thing
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, shoo bop bop
Shoo bop bop, yeah!
He got friendly, holding my hand
Well, she got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
I'm 24 but, she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But ah! Oh, the summer nights
It turned colder, that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams
But, oh
Those summer
Nights!
