summer's here again

seagulls squawking at the shore

too loud for tourists to ignore

they argue like they're in a war

where neither side can win

teenage beauties always wake up

and carefully put on their make up

for boys with whom they want to take up 

it's summertime again'

Tom sells drugs down at the pier

speaks so soft you can barely hear

but he can change your atmosphere

if you've got a little cash

Sandy sleeps inside her room

from morning till the afternoon

some say she's growing up too soon

but they're just talking trash

          and summer comes around once more

          exactly like it did before

          you wish you had a special friend

          summer's here again

Maria wears her bathing suit

all the boys think she's cute

but she is just a substitute

for the girls they really want

late at night and you're downtown

go and take a look around

all you'll find are midnight sounds

at a Denny's restaurant

          and summer comes around once more

          exactly like it did before

          you wish you had a special friend

          summer's here again

everybody's out of school

no need to follow official rule

you try your best to stay cool

it's burning hot outdoors

but a good time will soon be at reach

with the kids down at the beach

no tie to learn, no time to teach

who wants anything more?

          and summer comes around once more

          exactly like it did before

          you wish you had a special friend

          summer's here again
