COME ON, SUMMER. Lyrics

why is summer taking so long? july is like the waiting room at the end of june. august weighs a ton and nearly crushes you.

wake me up the minute fall arrives. autumn leaves fall to the ground like dresses on prom night. i remember you. stars, too, fell that autumn, like the leaves we caught and raked up and slow danced in all afternoon.

sew your dress and press your tuxedo. wax the rented limousine. keep the back seat clean. september's almost here. i hear the school bells ring.

wake me up the minute prom arrives. frilly dresses, flowing tresses, shining emerald eyes. i remember you: five foot three in satin, next to mary atkins, chasing boys all over the gymnasium.

wake me up the minute fall arrives. autumn leaves attract romance, while picnics attract flies.

come on, summer..
