Summer Nights (Broadway/Original Cast Version/1972)

Well, I been spending a lot of time hangin' around down at the beach

Oh yeah?

All right, all right, you guys

Hey

You wanna know what happened?

Are you kidding? Come on, all right!

Well, I met a boy this summer

It was all very romantic (Oh yeah?)

Summer lovin'

Had me a blast

Summer lovin', happened so fast

Met a girl, crazy for me

Met a boy, cute as can be

Summer day drifting away

To uh-oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh

Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

Tell me more, tell me more

Like, does he have a car?

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

She swam by me, she got a cramp (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)

He ran by me, got my suit damp (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)

Saved her life, she nearly drowned (uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)

He showed off, splashing around (doo doo wop wop wop)

Summer sun, something's begun

And uh-oh, those summer nights

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh

Tell me more, tell me more

Was it love at first sight?

Tell me more, tell me more

Did she put up a fight?

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh (doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo)

Took her bowling in the arcade (dooby dooby dooby dow)

We went strolling, drank lemonade (dooby dooby dooby dow)

We made out under the dock (dooby dooby dooby dow)

We stayed out till ten o'clock (doo wa wa, doo wa wa)

Summer fling, don't mean a thing

But uh-oh, those summer nights (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Tell me more, tell me more

But you don't have to brag

Tell me more, tell me more

'Cause he sounds like a drag

Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop

He got friendly, holding my hand (shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop)

Well she got friendly down in the sand (shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop)

He was sweet, just turned eighteen (shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop, yeah)

Well she was good, you know what I mean (shooda-bop-bop, shooda-bop-bop)

Summer heat, boy and girl meet

And uh-oh, those summer nights (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Tell me more, tell me more

How much dough did he spend?

Tell me more, tell me more

Could she get me a friend?

It turned colder (woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo)

That's where it ends (woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo)

So I told her we'd still be friends (woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo)

Then we made our true-love vow (woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo)

Wonder what she's doin' now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams

But, oh

Those summer nights (Tell me more, tell me more!)
