Lyrics of Summer Nights by Grease
verse
Summer lovin′ had me a blast
Summer lovin' happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days driftin′ away
To ah, oh, those summer nights
pre-chorus
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well, oh-uh
chorus
Tell me more, tell me more (did you get very far?)
Tell me more, tell me more (like does he have a car?)
hook
Uh-huh (do-do), uh-huh (do-do), uh-huh (do-do-do-do-do)
Uh-huh...
verse
She swam by me, she got a cramp
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off (do-wap-wap-wap), splashing around (do-wap-wap-wap)
Summer sun, something's begun
Than, ah, oh, those summer nights
pre-chorus
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well, oh-uh
chorus
Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more (did she put up a fight?)
hook
Dum, dooby-doo, dooby-doo, dooby-dooby-dooby
Dum, dooby-doo, dooby-doo, dooby-dooby-dooby
Dum...
verse
I took her bowling in the arcade
We went strolling, drank lemonade
Then we made out under the dock
We stayed out 'til ten o′clock
Summer fling, don′t mean a thing
But ah, oh, those summer nights (whoa, whoa, whoa)
chorus
Tell me more, tell me more (but you don't gotta brag)
Tell me more, tell me more (′cause he sounds like a drag)
hook
Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop
Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, yeah
Shoo-bop-bop...
verse
He got friendly, holding my hand
She got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned 18
She was good, you know what I mean (whoo)
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But ah, oh, those summer nights (whoa, whoa, whoa)
chorus
Tell me more, tell me more (how much dough did he spend?)
Tell me more, tell me more (could she get me a friend?)
bridge
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
outro
Tell me more, tell me more
Writer(s): Warren Casey, Jim Jacobs
