Lyrics
Summer's In The Sun
Margie & Art Corey/BMI
Copyright 2017 (c)
Oooooooooooo........
1st Verse
Let's write a surf song for old time sake
Sing a surf song, then let's make a date
Grab your shorts, then grab your board
We'll pile in to your old Ford
Ooooooooooooooooo..........
2nd Verse
Remember when we'd shoot the curl
The winner got that surfer girl
We always felt like sand and surf
Hardly ever wore shoes or a shirt
Oooooooooooooooo...........
Chorus
Surfin' Summer Days were grand
Bon fires and castles in the sand
We'll sing songs of summer's in the sun
Of good times and having fun........
3rd Verse
There were times, I'll never forget
We'd surf all day, but never get wet
Drive around with boards in our cars
Acting like.......big surf stars
Chorus
Ending
Let's write a surf song for old time sake
Come on along and let's make it a date
Let's grab our boards, go surfin' again
And take that woody, for one more spin.......
