Summer Girl

SUMMER GIRL

(Verse 1)
I met a summer girl with hair full of ocean curls,
But I knew she wouldn’t last me too long.
She said if I took a chance, that maybe we’d grab a dance,
And it might even last a whole song.
But she went to the ladies room, and she didn’t come back soon,
So I looked for her all over the bar.
I ran outside to fetch her,
But I never did catch her,
’cause she’d taken the keys to my car.

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, and it’s sure been a bummer.
Why does it seem to fade away far too soon.
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.

(Verse 2)
I flew to paradise, they said there was never ice,
But the moment that I landed it snowed.
My room with a water view looked over a small cesspool,
So I thought I’d better pack up and go.
But that girl with the golden hair was up in the penthouse there,
So I booked more days at double the rate.
I took her out to dinner, and it looked like I’d win her,
’til she asked me how much would I pay.

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, and it’s sure been a bummer.
Ah why does it fade away far too soon.
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.

(Bridge)
She never really looked me in the eye.
She never even called me by name.
I guess I was just another really dumb guy,
Too thrilled to be a pawn in her game.

(Verse 3)
She called me up next June, and said “Can I see you soon,
Will you fly me to Hawaii today?”
I ran for the airport gate, I figured she’s running late,
’til I saw her in the line with a date.
She was with some old Wall Street guy, and he looked me straight in the eye,
Said “Sonny, this gal’s out of your class.”
I yelled she’s got your number, you’re like me only dumber,
And in a week you’ll be begging for cash.

(Chorus)
Now it’s the end of the summer, and it’s sure been a bummer.
Ah why does it fade away far too soon.
I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.
Yes I’ve got those end of the summer I got poorer and dumber blues.

(Fade-out)
Oh I met a summer girl,
Yes I met a summer girl,
Oh I met a summer girl, with hair full of ocean curls.
