Summer crazy

Once upon a time I thought: “These modern pop songs are just awful. One could sing of manslaughter and no-one would notice it under all that bland sugar and numbing glitter”.

And to show that, I wrote the lyrics below. My guess is that, if performed, 89% of casual listeners wouldn’t notice anything except a cheery love song.

A beach party for two
Yay yay yay
No one else in sight
Ooh yeah
Baby don’t blame me no more
Just stay down on the sand
You can’t leave me now baby
Ooh yay yay — yay
Yay yay yay — please
You can’t leave me now
Gonna remember this day
The rest o’ your life baby
All your life, be it short
Or be it one blink of an eye
You won’t live to forget me
It’s summer, hey!
Yay yay yay
It’s just that I’m…

(chorus: )
I’m a bit summer crazy, ooh yeah,
Summer crazy
It’s fun to be
Summer crazy
Absolutely crazy
With my baby
Yay yay yay

Don’t baby cry, see the sun shine
Bright sun, take a good look baby
Mighta regret it later, ooh never mind
For us there’s no tomorrow, no,
I’ll just take care of you in my
Happy funny crazy way
Ooh so happy happy happy
Don’t baby cry, ohh don’t cry
You drive the vultures away
Ooh yay yay yay

(chorus)
I’m a bit summer crazy…
…yay yay yay

I feel so very high baby
Even if you’re bound to stay down
I’ll laugh for both of us, baby
You don’t need no words baby
To tell me your love
Don’t need no tongue baby
To tell me your lovin’
Yay yay yay
Don’t need no tongue baby
Ooh yay yay yay
Yay yay yay
Yay yay yay
Give it away

Baby your beautiful eyes
Big like saucers, wet like the ocean
Whatsamatter baby, just enjoy the sea
I’m so happy I could scream
Do you wanna scream too, baby?
Waves on your toes
Waves on your hips
Finally on your sweet red lips
Ooh baby can’t you see
You’re bound to stay here with me
Hemp cord!

(chorus)
I’m a bit summer crazy…
…yay yay yay

Just this one day
There won’t be a tomorrow
Just us two baby
Don’t speak, don’t breathe
Just let me kiss your blue lips
One final time my cool girl
Yay yay yay
Just us two baby
On the beach baby
Just me and my baby… and the flies…

Oh yeah!
