'Tis over again that beautiful summer
You’ve been looking forward to it for monthsThe cold winter just wouldn’t come around at firstSlowly and slowly crept along the weeksBut at last there he was after all the sunThe nights short the days longThe mornings full of birdsongThe sharp high buzzing of a mosquitoThen you think ha there he isThis will be at least a summer of a centuryBut dear people oh how quickly it goes
‘Tis over again that beautiful summerThat summer that began just about in MayAh you thought there would be no end to itBut before you know it all that summer will be long gone
The world that was full of light and lifeOf herring smell mingled with sunburnAn umbrella to sift the bright lightAnd in your clothes softly scoured the sandAnd in the morning fishing in the sunAnd swimming as far as you couldWe sailed a boat far out to sea“Tis a pity that it passed” Tis all memoryWe’ll make do with that all winter again
‘Tis over again that beautiful summerThat summer that began just about in MayAh you thought there would be no end to itBut before you know it all that summer will be long goneNa na na na
