I work all week until Saturday
I make my money, I make my way in the sun
Take me back to the summertime

I lost my money at the penny arcade
I met a girl as she passed my way on the pier
Such a long time ago

Oh, take me back to the summertime
Oh, such a long time ago

I knew her brother when I was young
Paper planes and plastic guns and fun
Take me back to the summertime

Here we go, merry-we-go-round
Sometimes up and sometimes down in a dream
Such a long time ago

Oh, take me back to the summertime
Oh, such a long time ago

I sit and write to the good old days
Killing time and watching waves by the sea
Such a long time ago

Oh, take me back to the summertime
Oh, such a long time ago
Oh, take me back to the summertime
Oh, such a long time ago
