\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Defense For Summertime Blues<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s \u00a0summertime and time to have fun.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t stay long. I have to run.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have money in my wallet.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s for a swinging weekend . Just call it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever you want for a good time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Excluding drugs, alcohol, or any type of crime. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know, I know. You have heard it before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet,—- I am going out the door.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s a yes,—- get a move on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If it\u2019s no,—-then I am gone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gotta jet. Life is \u00a0waiting.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have time for debating.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know you have heard it all before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, this time I mean it to my core.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am ready to rock and roll.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So come on. Get ready to go.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We will find some swinging hot spot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We will have a blast. Believe it or not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What brought about this change in me?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is summertime. Time to be free.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel good when the weather is warm. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The nights are nice & the fields are full of corn.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After the club, time for a moonlit ride.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The top will be down with you by my side.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The wind will whistle through our hair.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The stars will be out everywhere.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We will pull over in a cozy little spot.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be necking, like it or not.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

But, I all ready know you like it too.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

After all, it is the popular thing to do.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Next day, we may go to the beach.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I know some mouth to mouth I can teach.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Later, we can go on a hay ride.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Or, stay there and listen to the tide.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Anything will be a blast with you.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The best defense for the summertime blues.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
