in your summer dream

you are fast asleep

and you begin to dream

about that summer

when you were just fourteen

and you remember the sun shone

like the day knew no end

and time was still

a good fair-weather friend

well, tonight

you are back there again

in your summer dream

you are walking on the streets

of your hometown

looking for some buddies

you can hang around

you remember the songs

on a transistor radio

and they re playing new right now

just like long ago

better than any music

anyone now could ever know

and it's playing

in your summer dream

and they're singing

sha na na sha na na na

sha sha na sha na

sometimes you feel sad

when you think of way back when

and it hurts so bad

to think you can't go back again

hey, tonight the past will ask you

where the hell you been

in your summer dream

in your summer dream

in your summer dream

and they're singing

sha na na sha na na na

sha sha na sha na
