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
