Lyrics

[Intro] That summer feelin' That summer feelin' That summer feelin' [Verse 1] Folks, when there's things to do, not because you gotta When you run for love, not because you oughta When you trust your friends with no reason not'a The joy I've named shall not be tamed That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin' [Verse 2] When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it When the teenage car gets the cop down on it That time is hеre for one more yеar That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin' [Bridge] If you've forgotten what I'm namin' You're going to long to reclaim it one day You see, that summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life (Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin') But if you wait until you're older A sad resentment will smolder one day And then the summer feelin' will come haunt you Then that summer feeling will come taunt you That summer feelin' will hurt you later in your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin', dip dip I speak of summer feelin', yeah Summer feelin' [Verse 5] When the playground that just was all dirt comes hauntin' And someone who called you a flirt comes tauntin' It's not that these things alone were appealin' What I'm now revealin' is a certain feelin' That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin' What time? Well, just me [Verse 6] When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it When the catamaran has got the drop down on it When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it What I now proclaim is sort of hard to name But that summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin', dip dip Summer feelin' Yeah, yeah [Verse 7] When even fourth grade starts looking good, which you hated And first grade's looking good too, overrated And you boys long for some little girl that you dated Do you long for her, or for the way you were? That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life [Refrain] Summer feelin', that summer feelin' That feelin's gonna haunt you Summer feelin', that summer feelin' That summer feelin's gonna taunt you [Outro] Summer feelin', that summer feelin' Summer feelin', that summer feelin' Summer feelin', that summer feelin' Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
