Summer of My Life

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 this seaside grille.
                  
After work, when I get done
                       
I'll hit the boards and have some fun.

Ahh, 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 his degree
                            
in something called waveology.
         
Didn't ever shoot the curl
                                     
but I sure looked good on the beach for the girls.

Ahh, this was the Summer of My Life.

	Sometimes I feel like  the Duke of Earl.
                                                        
	I am the luckiest fool in the world.
                            
Teasing Shoobes 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.
                
Strollin' 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
                                               
	 Just need a summer that won't ever end?

Ahh, this was the Summer of My Life.

Ahh, this was the Summer of My Life.
