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...
