about

Summer romance when last summer's girl is still on your mind. A player gets played. And the Beach Boys get a gentle spoof..

lyrics

The end of summer is just in sight,
I’m working up a healthy appetite
I always take the easy fruit in reach,
when I searching for a summer peach

Searching for that special one to break the spell of the summer sun…

She’s the got the two piece that fits her right
And a smile that’s perfect, pearly white.
Sitting on her towel and all alone
Trying to work up a copper tone

I want to say I fell then and there -- But one thing caught me unawares

I still the face of last summer’s girl
You can’t replace last summer’s girl
Your pretty eyes only remind me
Of the girl I left behind she’s
On my mind, last summer’s girl

I looked at her and she glanced at me
And we both knew it was meant to be
She said “Do my back baby if you please”
Next thing you know I was on my knees

I wrote our names together in the sand
Made out at sunset and held her hand
My feeling for her won’t ever fade away
At least not until Labor Day

She’s starting to cry - I can’t forget though I try and try and try…

But in my heart I know something’s wrong
It’s like an old familiar song
The melody is sweet and bright
But the words are not quite right
She’s walking away -While I try and think of something to say

I still the face of last summer’s girl
You can’t replace last summer’s girl
I search my thoughts but only remember
The girl who walked out last September…
