In the Summertime - Mungo Jerry

 

Who remembers "Here Comes Summer" by Jerry Keller (a one hit wonder) in the summer of 1958?

Thanks,
Richard

 

I do.

 

^ Me, too!

 

HERE COMES SUMMER
Jerry Keller

Here comes summer
School is out, oh happy days
Here comes summer
Gonna grab my girl and run away
If she's willing
We'll go steady right away
Now let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Almost June, the sun is bright
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Gonna see her every night
It's the greatest (here comes summer)
Lots more time to hold her tight
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

School's not so bad but the summer is better
They give me more time to see my girl
Walk through the park beneath the shiny moon
Oh when we kiss she makes my hair curl

Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Feel her lips so close to mine
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
When we meet her eyes both shine
It's the greatest (here comes summer)
Let's have summer all the time
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Here comes summer (here comes summer)
School is out, oh happy days
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Gonna grab my girl and run away
If she's willing (here comes summer)
We'll go steady right away
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Almost June, the sun is bright
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Gonna see her every night
It's the greatest (here comes summer)
Lots more time to hold her tight
Oh let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

 

I've never been a surfer, and I've never even spent much time on the West Coast, but I think this is a beautiful summer song. I also think this is the Beach Boys at their very best. The words and the harmony are among the best that Brian Wilson and crew did.


Surfer Girl
The Beach Boys

Little surfer little one
Made my heart come all undone
Do you love me, do you surfer girl
Surfer girl my little surfer girl

I have watched you on the shore
Standing by the ocean's roar
Do you love me do you surfer girl
Surfer girl surfer girl

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my woody i would take you
everywhere i go

So i say from me to you
I will make your dreams come true
Do you love me
do you surfer girl

Surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl
Well
Girl surfer girl my little surfer girl

 

Not a summer song, but a fun song, does anyone remember

Tra-la-la-la-Suzy By Dean & Gene?

Though you love little Sue so,
But you can't let Sue know,
You're afraid little Suzy will,
Turn her back on you.

etc., etc.

 

I don't even remember Dean and Gene!

"One Summer Night" by the Danleers?

 

That was back when Dean & I were much younger!
