Summer lovin', had me a blast

Summer lovin', happened so fast

Met a girl, crazy for me

Met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days, drifting away

  But oh, oh, those summer nights, a well-a, well-a, well-a

Uh, tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more, like does he own a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp

He ran by me, got my suit damp

Saved her life, she nearly drowned

He showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something's begun

But oh, oh, those summer nights, a well-a, well-a, well-a

Uh, tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade

We went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock

We stayed out till ten o'clock

Summer fling don't mean a thing

  But oh, oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, like, you don't have to brag

Tell me more, tell me more, 'cause he sounds like a drag

(Shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop)

He got friendly, holding my hand

She got friendly, down on the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen

She was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet

  Then oh, oh, those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?

It turned colder, that's where it ends

So I told her we'd still be friends

Then we made our true love vow

Wonder what she's doing now

Summer dreams, ripped at the seams

  But oh, those summer nights
