Summertime

Some people wind up with the one that they adore

In a heart-shaped hotel room, it's what a heart is for

The bubble floats so madly, will it stay sky high?

Hello, partner, kiss your name bye-bye

Ooh, sometimes

Romantic Piscean seeks angel in disguise

Chinese-speaking girlfriend, big brown eyes

Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male

Hello, partner, tell me love can't fail

And it's you and me in the summertime

We'll be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye

And all that sunshine banishes the dark

Some people wind up with the one that they abhor

In a distant hell hole room, this third world war

But all I see is films where a colorless despair

Meant angry young men with immaculate hair

Oh, sometimes

"Get up," a voice inside says

There's no time for looking down

Only a pound a word and you're talking to the town

And how do you coin the phrase though

That will set your soul apart, just to touch a lonely heart?

And it's you and me in the summertime

And we'll be hand in hand down in the park

With a squeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eye

And all the sunshine banishes the dark

And it's you I need in the summertime

As I turn my white skin red

Two peas from the same pod, yes, we are

Or have I read too much fiction? Is this how it happens?

How does it happen?

How does it happen?

How does it happen?

And is this how it happens?
