When the winds themselves spread in the ???
When they're sculpted by the apartments
When they're stagnant and stark and they stay where they are
In the melancholy high school ???
That summer feeling is here again
[Now Tommy plays drums and I play guitar]
When the night winds wind in the daytime
And when it's all ready hot by 9 am
And the smells in the town are so strong
All they just amplify all sorrow
[Asphalt is so hot it's all ready that melted asphalt smell]
At 9 am
[And the coffee, it smells ??? 90 degrees by 9 am, smells all empty]
Is amplified
Is amplified
That summer feeling

And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
If you've forgotten what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
And if you wait until your older
A sad resentment will smolder one day
And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna taunt you
That summer feeling is gonna hurt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
Now when the playground that just was all dirt
Comes haunting
And someone who called you a flirt
Comes a taunting
It's not that these things by themselves
Were so appealing
What I'm now revealing is a certain feeling
Oh, that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
Now when first grade starts looking good
Which you hated
And fourth grade's looking good too,
Overrated
And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Do you long for her or for the way you were,
Oh that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
[Just JoJo one verse]
When your friends are in town
And they've got time for ya
You know, when they're all hanging around with you
And they don't ignore ya
When you can tell them anything that is on your mind
And they still adore ya
Is that not appealing?
It's that summer feeling
Oh that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
[One more time for Jonathan]
When the cool of the pond makes you wanna, you know, drop down on it
When the smell of the lawn makes you just wanna flop down on it
You know, when the teenage car gets the cop down on it
What I now proclaim, is actually sort of hard to name
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
When the fourth grade starts looking good
Which you hated
And first grade's looking good too,
Overrated
And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Did you long for her or for the way you were,
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
It's gonna haunt you
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
[[Italian commentary]]
Not because you gotta
When you run for love not because you oughta
When you trust your friends with no reason nada
The joy I've named shall not be tamed
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it
When the smell of a lawn makes you flop down on it
When the teenage car gets the cop down on it
That time is here for one more year
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
If it's not clear what I'm naming
You're gonna long to reclaim it one day
Because that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
If you wait until your older, all right
A sad resentment will smoulder one day
And then that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna taunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
When even fourth grade starts looking good
Which you hated,
And first grade's looking good too,
Overrated,
And you boys long for some little girl
That you dated
Do you long for her or for the way you were,
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
[Just Jonathan one time]
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting

The memory comes taunting
It's not that these things by themselves
Are appealing
What I'm now revealing is a certain feeling
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
All right
When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the flat of the land has the crop down on it
What I now proclaim is sort of hard to name
But that summer feeling, it's gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
All right, one more time
Just Jonathan
When your old friends are in town
And they've got time for you
When they're hanging around
And they don't ignore you
When you tell them what's on your mind
And they still adore you
Is that not appealing
It's that summer feeling
That summer feeling's gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
It's gonna haunt you

You're gonna miss this feeling
Hurt you someday

And that summer feeling is gonna taunt you
And then that summer feeling is gonna hurt you
One day in your life
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting
And the little girl that called you a flirt
Comes a taunting
It's not that these things on their own are appealing
What I'm now revealing is this certain feeling
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That feeling oh oh
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
Thank you
That summer feeling
When there's things to do not because you gotta do them
When there's things to do not because you gotta
When you run for the love of running not because you're supposed ta
When you trust your friends because so far life has given you no reason not to trust them (you must be no older than five)
The joy I've named shall not be tamed
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
Well when the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting
And the little girl that called you a flirt on the playground
Her memory comes a taunting
It's not one memory but one that's necessarily appealing
You connect five or six together and you'll get this certain feeling
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That feeling oh oh
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
[??? The summer feeling ???]
That summer feeling
??? Summertime
That summer feeling
When there's things
When there's things to do not because you oughtta
When you run for the love ??? gotta
When you trust your friends with no reason nada
[???
???]
And that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting
???
The little girl who called the boy ???
The little girl ???
The little boy
By the fence marker
???
[???
???
Summer, summer feeling
??? Me down
The swimming hole
The rope swing
Shout out, now]
[[He gets the crowd to shout out what they remember about summer]]
??? Makes you drop down on it
[???
??? Drop down on it
???]
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
[??? I'm proud of this audience]
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
When there's things to do not because you gotta
When you run for love not because you ought to
When there's things to do not because you gotta
When you run for love not because the doctor says he thinks you oughta
When you trust your friends with no reason nada
The joy I've named shall not be tamed
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting you
That summer feeling
[Folks, what do we come to Earth for?
If not to screw up?
For real
For real
Just might as well lift a toast to it
Cause there's no other reason for us to be here
If we were perfect
We could have stayed up with all angel Gabriel and everybody
We didn't
We chose not to
We chose to exhibit
Evil once in a while
Try our hand at sex and fun
Slow down
And make big fat ugly sometimes mistakes
But, it is good, it's not depressing
???
You know ??? [Spanish?]
???
But we can pick ourselves up
So we that screwed up thing
So we should hang our head maybe
???
I can tell you a few things I've done
Two weeks of solid hanging head wouldn't be out of order
But not for ever
No
Because
??? [[Spanish?]]
???]
It will haunt you one day in your life
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting
And the little girl calling the boy a flirt on the playground
The memory comes taunting
These things alone are not so appealing
But bad memories go together
And you get this certain feeling
That summer feeling is going to haunt you
One day in your life
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
That summer feeling
When the playground that just was all dirt
Comes a haunting

Verse:
When the cool of the pond makes you drop down on it,

Verse:
When even fourth grade starts looking good, (which you hated),
And first grade's looking good, too, (overrated),
And you boys long for some little girl that you dated
Do you long for her or for the way you were,
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.
Verse:
When the Oldsmobile has got the top down on it
When the catamaran has got the drop down on it
When the flat of the land has got the crop down on it
Some things were good before and some things never were
But that summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.
Verse:
Well when your friends are in town and they've got time for ya
When you were never hanging around and they don't ignore ya
When you say what you will and they still adore ya
Is that not appealing, it's that summer feeling.
That summer feeling is gonna haunt you
One day in your life.
