[Intro]
That summer feelin'
That summer feelin'
That summer feelin'

[Verse 1]
Folks, when there's things to do, not because you gotta
When you run for love, not because you oughta
When you trust your friends with no reason not'a
The joy I've named shall not be tamed
That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin'

[Verse 2]
When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
When the smell of the lawn makes you flop down on it
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
That time is hеre for one more yеar
That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin'
[Bridge]
If you've forgotten what I'm namin'
You're going to long to reclaim it one day
You see, that summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life
(Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin')
But if you wait until you're older
A sad resentment will smolder one day
And then the summer feelin' will come haunt you
Then that summer feeling will come taunt you
That summer feelin' will hurt you later in your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin', dip dip
I speak of summer feelin', yeah
Summer feelin'

[Verse 5]
When the playground that just was all dirt comes hauntin'
And someone who called you a flirt comes tauntin'
It's not that these things alone were appealin'
What I'm now revealin' is a certain feelin'
That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin'
What time? Well, just me
[Verse 6]
When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
What I now proclaim is sort of hard to name
But that summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin', dip dip
Summer feelin'
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 7]
When even fourth grade starts looking good, which you hated
And first grade's looking good too, overrated
And you boys long for some little girl that you dated
Do you long for her, or for the way you were?
That summer feelin's gonna haunt you the rest of your life

[Refrain]
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
That feelin's gonna haunt you
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
That summer feelin's gonna taunt you
[Outro]
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
Summer feelin', that summer feelin'
