SUMMER NIGHTS (from "Grease") by Warren Casey & Jim Jacobs
----------------------------------------------------------

                          
   Summer lovin', had me a blast
                            
   Summer lovin', happened so fast
                       
   Met a girl, crazy for me
                         - 
   Met a boy, cute as can be

                        
   Summer days, drifting away
                                            
   But oh, oh, those summer nights, a well-a, well-a, well-a

                                        
   Uh, tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?
                                      
   Tell me more, tell me more, like does he own a car?
         

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
Saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something's begun
But oh, oh, those summer nights, a well-a, well-a, well-a

Uh, tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out till ten o'clock

                            
   Summer fling don't mean a thing
                               
   But oh, oh, those summer nights

                                    
   Tell me more, tell me more, like, you don't have to brag
                                    
   Tell me more, tell me more, 'cause he sounds like a drag
                                                 
   (Shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop, shoowap bop bop)

                          
   He got friendly, holding my hand
                            
   She got friendly, down on the sand
                          
   He was sweet, just turned eighteen
                              - 
   She was good, you know what I mean

                        
   Summer heat, boy and girl meet
                               
   Then oh, oh, those summer nights

                                    
   Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?
                                     
   Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?
   

                                
   It turned colder, that's where it ends
                           
   So I told her we'd still be friends
                         
   Then we made our true love vow
                         
   Wonder what she's doing now

                               
   Summer dreams, ripped at the seams
                      - 
   But oh, those summer nights
