home stretch of summer


the home stretch of summer is upon us
the kids are dreading going back to school
that big bag of charcoal's almost empty
the water's needing chlorine
in the community pool
it's a sad, sad day
when September comes its way
and leaves turn from green to brown
it's the best time of year
but the end is drawing near
we're in the home stretch of summer
the home stretch of summer is fast approaching
you'll have to wait till another day
to polish up the surfboard and use your sunscreen
put those Beach Boys compact discs away
it's such a sad, sad time
leaving summer's warmth behind
autumn's waiting just around the bend
it's the best time of year
but old man winter's coming near
we're in the home stretch of summer
