Summer's almost over, soon its back to school
Soon they drain the water out of the swimming pool.
Adopt a brand new attitude, a positive outlook,
Buy yourself some pencils and a looseleaf notebook

Summer's almost over, a new season's coming up.
Time to gird your loins and don your jockstrap and your cup
The hiatus it is ending, the lax living has to stop.
Get rid of that beer belly, do wind sprints till you drop

(Piano solo)

Summer's almost over, September's 'round the bend
Temperatures are dropping, summer love must end.
The one you met upon the beach, knew in the canoe,
You must tell her at the cookout your romance is through

Summer's almost over, fading like a tan,
Vacation-time is running out like an unplugged fan.
Labor Day is coming, whet the old grindstone
For all those lazy, hazy, crazy days you must atone.
