Now... oh wait, excuse me...

1. All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

SUMMER IN THE CITY, The Lovin' Spoonful

2. Well, the streetlights shine down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers they walk by, holding hands two by two
A breeze crosses the porch, bicycle spokes spin 'round
My jackets on, I'm out the door
And tonight I'm gonna burn this town down

3. Well, the girls are frisky in old Frisco
A pretty little chick wherever you go

TRAVELLIN' MAN?, Rick Nelson

4. So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,

BROWN-EYED GIRL, Van Morrison

5. But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby

BOYS OF SUMMER, Don Henley

6. Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

LITTLE DEUCE COUPE?, Beach Boys

7. Now fellas, you better watch your step
Don't let them teeny French bikinis
Make you lose your breath
Back to the ladies
Ya'll keep doing ya'lls thing
'Cause everything about you makes me wanna scream

8. Strange voices are saying
(What did they say)
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand

9. And it's two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard

I PREFER FRESCA, Lyndon Johnson

10. But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans

CROCODILE ROCK, Elton John

11. You'd see 'em wearing their baggies
Huarache sandals too
A bushy bushy blonde hairdo

SURFIN' USA, The Beach Boys

12. I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can't wait ‘til the day, when you knock on my door

After the poison summer has gone . . . that's how I heard it the first few times I heard it. That's probably why I'm so crummy at this game. Among other things.

Boys of summer, Don Henley. Don't tell me it was the Eagles.

6. Well, it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I wanna go

Surf City. She can be taught! It's Jan and Dean, not the Beach Boys.
