Lyrics
By nature I’m a timid and retiring sort of girl
But with folks like you I really feel at home
Please don’t feel that you’re a stranger
We’re all glad to have you here
And we’ll guarantee you’ll never be alone
Things were gettin’ very dull indeed
Looks like you’re the medicine we need
Chorus
Things are gonna hum this summer
Things are really gonna pop
Ev’rybody’s gonna hop
And we’re never gonna stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop
Things are gonna hum this summer
Things are really gonna boom
Love is really gonna bloom
Ev’rybody’s gonna zoom
Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom
Moonlight picnics and stuff like that
Uo the river canoein’
Dancin’ parties ya betcher hat
Always somethin’ doin’
Things are gonna hum this summer
Things are really gonna whirl
Ev’ry fella with a girl
Ev’ry girl’ll have a fella she can walk with
Spoon with, underneath the moon with
Ev’ry day will be a sugar plum
And things are gonna hum, hum, hum
