Summerlove Sensation Lyrics (1974)
Now the sun’s sitting high in the sky
And the love that’s in everyone’s eye
Now the waiting the anticipating is over, over, over, over
Leave your books and get out in the sun
Summer’s here and we’re gonna have fun
Schooldays are past and at last you can really feel free
And you can run in the sun
Having fun with the one that you really love
Walk in the sand hand in hand
With the boy that you met on vacation
And on a warm summer night it’s all right
When he says, baby I love you
Then boy oh boy you’re enjoying that summer love sensation
Hitch a ride and get down to the sea
On the beach where the gang’s gonna be
You can stay there all day
Still the fun isn’t over, over, over, over
In the evening he’s waiting for you
When you go to the beach barbecue
And you all have a ball dancing dusk until dawn
And you can run in the sun
Having fun with the one that you really love
Walk in the sand hand in hand
With the boy that you met on vacation
And on a warm summer night it’s all right
When he says, baby I love you
Then boy oh boy you’re enjoying that summer love sensation
Do wop be do be do
And you can run in the sun
Having fun with the one that you really love
Walk in the sand hand in hand
With the boy that you met on vacation
And on a warm summer night it’s all right
When he says, baby I love you
Then boy oh boy you’re enjoying that summer love sensation
