[Verse 1]
Since I was a young boy
There's been one toy that I've always wanted bad
A California camper-van
That I can drive right up onto the sand

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you're never alone when the road is your home
'Cause the stars are your ceiling, oh look at them glow
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, just look at them glow, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
No, I'm not coming home for the summer
Sold my house and I bought a VW
I got sand in my sheets 'cause my garden's the beach
No, I'm not coming home for the summer
(Not coming home) yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
Come right up top with me and let's pretend it's 1963
I'll put the Beach Boys on, you'll sing along
And get the words all wrong (Be my little baby)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a tailback behind us nearly two miles long
But I'm not pulling over 'til we finish our song
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, 'til I finish our song, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
No, I'm not coming home for the summer
Sold my house and I bought a VW
I got sand in my sheets 'cause my garden's the beach
No, I'm not coming home for the summer
(Not coming home) yeah yeah

[Bridge]
Darling, why don't you just jump in?
Gonna see the country, tell me you're not wondering, darling
Come on, tell me you don't want one?
You can ride up shotgun, summer's coming on and on

[Chorus]
No, I'm not coming home for the summer (Not coming home)
Sold my house and I bought a VW (Not coming home)
I got sand in my sheets 'cause my garden's the beach
No, I'm not coming home for the summer (Not coming home)

No, I'm not coming home for the summer (Not coming home)
Sold my house and I bought a VW
I got sand in my sheets 'cause my garden's the beach
No, I'm not coming home for the summer
(Not coming home) yeah yeah
(Not coming home) yeah yeah
(Not coming home) yeah yeah
(Not coming home) yeah yeah
