Defense For Summertime Blues
It’s summertime and time to have fun.
I can’t stay long. I have to run.
I have money in my wallet.
It’s for a swinging weekend . Just call it.
Whatever you want for a good time.
Excluding drugs, alcohol, or any type of crime.
I know, I know. You have heard it before.
Yet,—- I am going out the door.
If it’s a yes,—- get a move on.
If it’s no,—-then I am gone.
I’ve gotta jet. Life is waiting.
I don’t have time for debating.
I know you have heard it all before.
But, this time I mean it to my core.
I am ready to rock and roll.
So come on. Get ready to go.
We will find some swinging hot spot.
We will have a blast. Believe it or not.
What brought about this change in me?
It is summertime. Time to be free.
I feel good when the weather is warm.
The nights are nice & the fields are full of corn.
After the club, time for a moonlit ride.
The top will be down with you by my side.
The wind will whistle through our hair.
The stars will be out everywhere.
We will pull over in a cozy little spot.
There will be necking, like it or not.
But, I all ready know you like it too.
After all, it is the popular thing to do.
Next day, we may go to the beach.
I know some mouth to mouth I can teach.
Later, we can go on a hay ride.
Or, stay there and listen to the tide.
Anything will be a blast with you.
The best defense for the summertime blues.
