Hey Girls!

Well me and my buddies we were just driving in my car the other night

It was the first day of summer and I couldn't believe my eyes

I just rolled down the window—I stuck my head out

And said, "Awooooooooo!" Oh girls can't you see that

 

We're looking for action—Cruising and acting so cool

We're rockin' and rollin'—Trying to find somebody who

Will go for a ride, and maybe tonight we'll get lucky

 

Summer vacation—That's when we party the best

Bustin' the curfew—We won't be happy unless

We drink way too much, and we need a crutch just to stand up

 

Boys will be boys—Boys will be boys

Hell, I don't wanna grow up and be a man

I wanna stay as young just as long as I can

Boys will be boys—Boys will be boys

Hiding my Playboys under my bed

Centerfold dreams dancing in my head

Well, they're dancing in my head

 

Summer is here, believe it or not

Back to the beach, where everything's hot

Let's turn the radio up, and dance to the beat

Right out in the streets

Let down your hair, 'cause summer is here

Yeah! Summer is here

 

Girls! Girls! Girls! I don't know what's wrong with me anymore

That's all I can ever think about

I ride down the street I see them in halter tops and short-shorts

I just want to reach out and grab one and say

"Baby look at me can't you see I'm"

 

Looking for action—We're gonna break all the rules

They know it's harmless—So who are they trying to fool

When they act so outraged, and they shout "Act your ag""

Well, it's all right

 

Boys will be boys—Boys will be boys

I don't wanna grow up and be a man

I wanna stay as young just as long as I can

Boys will be boys—Boys will be boys

All we wanna do is to have some fun

Rock & rock & roll in the summer sun

Well, we're rockin' with the girls tonight

 

Knock it off, Joey!

 

Summer is here, believe it or not

Back to the beach, where everything's hot

Let's turn the radio up, and dance to the beat

Right out in the streets

Let down your hair, 'cause summer is here

Yeah! Summer is here

 

Summer is here, believe it or not

Back to the beach, where everything's hot

Let's turn the radio up, and dance to the beat

Right out in the streets

Let down your hair, 'cause summer is here

Yeah! Summer is here

 

Hey Chuck! Tony! Bobby! Tom! Everybody!

Come on we're gonna have a party down at my place

Yea! Right yea my mother and father they went to New York on vacation

They left me here for two weeks all by myself

They wanted to know if I could take care of the house

I said, "Are you kidding me? Care I take care of the—"

Somebody Dave you get the cards

Meet me at about eleven o'clock we'll be over here every night after work

Oh I can't believe this

Oh, oh and Big Ed—Make sure you call Ernie, Larry, and Jenny

Listen—Have you got that phone number for that girl?

Yea Suzy Feusi—I like the way she looks!

 

Hey! Hey who said dismissed? Stop that!

We're not through dancing yet—No!
