Summer Morning - Jonathan Richman, The Modern Lovers

I was walking around on Sunday morning

A summer breeze was in the dawnin'

And those smells--summer smelled great to me

Those are the kind of smells that I wait all year for

Summer’s so beautiful to me.

I like 'em all but…

Listen to this summer morning

Those big trees are up there

By the side of the rode, they’re lining the road

The sun is comin up over 'em, and those trees are dark and cool still

The ground is still wet

The smell of the pollen and flowers

The breeze is so neat, so sweet

Bees buzzin' and flies not yet flyin', well there’re little nits nittin'

And gnats gnattin'

See, I was just…

I was just walking around on a summer morning

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

Enjoying the breeze and these smells of the dawnin'

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

As the sun rose above the trees

So wet still and cool in the morning breeze

I love the life so on summer mornings

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

These smells make me feel so fine

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

You know, when the sun rise above the trees

They still cool, they still dark in the morning breeze

These smells, they’re so good

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

This summer is so fine

Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey

When the sun does rise above the trees

When they’re still cool and shady in the breeze

One more time, I’m talkin' of

When the sun it rises above the trees

When they’re still wet and dark in the morning breeze
