July

Whispering on a cool summer's day

I found my soul and took it back to her place

Skipping over lines on the pavement

Writing rhymes on the bus station

People plotting in the grass

Kicking ball in the park

Drinking brews after dark

Remember how we laughed

Laughed till we cried, till the morning came

With those girls, oh right

And, oh, what were their names?

July

July, July, July was a lovely year

It was a lovely year

We didn't have a lot of money

But you get me

Remember leaving town in a crazy ball of smoke

We drank a bit too much, our pockets were broke

Dreaming of beaches

Dreaming of women in skimpy bikinis

Traveled to a costa-del-somethin'

Made sure it's in England, so it costed us nothin'

Wishing on a superstar

We wished upon the sun

And our wishes went oh, so far

Driving in the driving seat

Playing James Brown at four in the morning

Just so I don't sleep and a week goes

Another week with me and my amigos, amigos

Using grass for the pillow

Making sure we say hello

To all our future summer lovers

Last July, I got a lot of numbers

I'll see you next year when we do another runner

July

July, July, July was a lovely year

It was a lovely year

We didn't have a lot of money

But you get me

And we sang

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day

Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da

I say, I say, I say, July

July, July, July was a lovely year

It was a lovely year

We didn't have a lot of money

But you get me

July, July, July was a lovely year
