Lyrics
1. Summer here, Summer there, Summer everywhere
For that’s the best time of the year
On the sands holding hands
Little boy is telling tales of love in girlie’s ear
Winter is over, Gee! that’s fine
Hip-hip-hoo-ray for Summer time
Lover’s lane same old game
Every boy in love will always hum this little rhyme
CHORUS
Gee! how I hate to see those summer days roll by
Gee! but I love to spoon beneath the summer sky
For summer time was made for love
While all those summer stars shine from above
May, June, July and August are the months for me
Winter time and I cannot agree
For November and December are the months I don’t remember
I hate to see those summer days roll by
2. Summer hours ‘mong the flowers with the only girl you love
Is just the time to spoon
Listen dear, can’t you hear birds are sweetly singing
Summer love songs all in tune
Don’t worry dearie, I’ll be true
I’m always pining for just you
Wedding chimes are the signs that there’ll be
A honeymoon between just me and you
