lyrics

Surfin' every day down at Malibu
'Neath the warm California sun
No more books, no more homework to do now
'Cause summer means fun

Summer means fun
(Fun fun, summer means fun) summer means fun
(& the girls are 2 to 1) the girls are 2 to 1
(Lots of fun for everyone) yes, summer means fun
(Fun fun, summer means fun now)

Drive-in movies every night
Stayin' out till half past 1
Sleep in late & live it light now
'Cause summer means fun

So everybody, grab your baggies & bikinis
'Cause it's only just begun
We're gonna have a ball until the fall now
'Cause summer means fun
