Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer  
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer  
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer  
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer

Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills  
(Miniature golf and Hondas in the hills)  
When we rode the horse we got some thrills  
Every now and then we hear our song  
(Every now and then we hear our song)  
We’ve been having fun all summer long

Catching walleye from the dock  
Watching the waves roll off the rocks  
She’ll forever hold a spot inside my soul

We’d blister in the sun  
We couldn’t wait for night to come  
To hit that sand and play some rock ‘n’ roll

He got friendly holding my hand (Shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop)  
Well, she got friendly down in the sand (Shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop)

He was sweet, just turned eighteen (Shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop, shooda-bop bop, yeah)  
Well, she was good, you know what I mean (Wow, wow, ooo, wow, wow)

Summer heat, boy and girl meet  
But, uh oh, those summer nights

Hot summer night in Sausalito  
Can’t stand the heat another mile  
Let’s drop a quarter in the meter  
And hit the sidewalk for a while

We’re having a heat wave,  
A tropical heat wave,  
The temperature’s rising,  
It isn’t surprising,  
She certainly can can-can.

She started a heat wave  
By letting her seat wave  
In such a way that  
The customers say that  
She certainly can can-can.

_Heat Wave. Ethel Merman_

Takes no art to do a can-can,  
It is so simple to do,  
When you start to do a can-can,  
'Twill be so easy for you.  
If a slow Mohammedan can,  
If a kilted Scottish clan can,  
If in Wagner a Valkyrian can,  
Baby, you can can-can too.  
If a lass in Michigan can,  
If an ass in Astrakhan can,  
If a bass in the Saskatchewan can,  
Baby, you can can-can too.

Let me tell ya 'bout the birds and the bees  
And the flowers and the trees  
And the moon up above  
And a thing called love

Let me tell ya 'bout the stars in the sky  
And a girl and a guy  
And the way they could kiss  
On a night like this

By the dark of the moon, I planted  
But there came an early snow  
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now  
'Bout six nights in a row  
She’s coming for me, I know  
And on Wildfire we’re both gonna go

With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower,

I’m gonna wait 'til the midnight hour  
That’s when my love come tumbling down  
I’m gonna wait 'til the midnight hour  
When there’s no one else around  
I’m gonna take you, girl, and hold you  
And do all things I told you, in the midnight hour

Running just as fast as we can  
Holding on to one another’s hand  
Trying to get away into the night  
And then you put your arms around me  
And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we’re alone now  
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around  
I think we’re alone now  
The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Two of hearts

Roll over Beethoven  
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

Well, if you feel and like it  
Go get your lover, reel and rock it  
Roll it over then move on up just  
A trifle further and reel and rock with one another

Roll over Beethoven  
Tell Tchaikovsky the news

_Roll Over Beethoven. Chuck Berry_
