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
Sittin’ in my car outside your house
(Sittin’ in my car outside your house)
'Member when you spilled coke all over you blouse
T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs
(T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs)
We’ve been having fun all summer long
Summer loving, had me a blast –
Summer loving, happened so fast –
I met a girl. crazy for me –
Met a boy, as cute as can be –
Summer days, drifting away,
To, oh, oh, those summer nights.
Summer Nights – John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John
-“BB”-
The sidewalk bends where your house ends
Like the Neighborhood is on its knees
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Could you be mine?
Would you be mine?
It’s a neighborly day in this beauty wood
A neighborly day for a beauty
Could you be mine?
Would you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you
Let’s make the most of this beautiful day
Since we’re together, might as well say
Would you be my, could you be my
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Beautiful Dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull’d by the moonlight have all passed away!
Bing Crosby (among many)
Did you ever see a dream dancing? Well, I did
Did you a ever see a dream romancing? Well, I did
Did you ever see heaven right in your arms, saying, “I love you, I do”
Well, the dream that was walking and the dream that was talking
And the heaven in my arms was you
In dreams we do so many things
We set aside the rules we know
And fly the world so high
In great and shining rings
If only we could always live in dreams
If only we could make of life
What, in dreams, it seems
(“In the Real World,” Roy Orbison)
So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me
I dream of Jeannie, with the light brown hair.
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air;
I see her tripping where the bright streams play
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Jeannie with the Light Brown Hair, Stephen Foster
I dream of Brownie with the light blue jeans
She is as sweet as liquorice jelly beans
I dream of Brownie and with passion I burn
For of all the smiles I’ve seen there’s none like her’n
When my nights are lonely and go from bad to worse
Brownie sings to me and I thrill to her verse
She makes me happy and she makes me feel merrier
Brownie is my favourite black haired terrier.
Spike Jones & his City Slickers
In my mind she’s still a lady – that’s all I’m gonna say –
But I knew that I’d been broken by the time we parted ways.
And I know I held more woman than most eyes have ever seen,
That night I knew a lady wearin’ tight-fittin’ jeans.
Tight Fittin’ Jeans – Conway Twitty
But now you’ve gone and left me
I don’t know what to do
So, my little darlin’
I write these words to you
You dun stomped on my heart
And you mashed that sucker flat
You just sorta stomped on my aorta
You started going out with guys
I felt us drift apart
And every step you took
Was a stomp upon my heart
Mason Williams
I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name 'til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don’t know what I did next all I know I couldn’t stop
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
My mama’s phone started ringin’ off the hook
I can hear her now sayin’ she ain’t gonna have it
Don’t matter how you feel it only matters how you look
Go and fix your make up girl, it’s just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin’ like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain’t my mama’s broken heart
I remember when, I remember
I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet success and I gave you my best
Remember me with every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing
Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on a corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls,
Watching all the girls go by
Break out the cigars! This life is for squirrels.
We’re off to the drugstore to whistle at girls.
Whistle while you work
Put on that grin and start right in to whistle loud and long
Just hum a merry tune
Just do your best and then take a rest and sing yourself a song
