Summertime

It was late one night, I lost my lucky charm
And I fell off my bike and I broke my arm
I ripped my jeans but I met a girl
And we kissed behind the school
It was down by the lake of this haunted house
And we freaked this guy with a rubber mouse
That was living, it was so damn cool
The battle hymn of Scarborough

It happened last summer, summertime
It happened last summer, summertime

Well the cops come 'round, nearly every day
But we climbed a tree till they went away
I had to hide my hickey with a turtleneck
I drank a can of beer
Well the seasons changed and it passed me by
But I'll never forget the look in your eye
That was living, it was so damn cool
The battle hymn of Scarborough

It happened last summer, summertime
It happened last summer, summertime

Sun beating down, it makes me smile
Sand stuck between my toes
Birds singing on a picket white fence
Drinking water from a hose

It happened last summer, summertime
It happened last summer, summertime
It happened last summer, summertime
It happened last summer, summertime
