The Girls of Summer (The Girls of Summer, 1956)
Stephen Sondheim
[FEMALE VOCALIST]
The girls of summer
Get burned
They start the summer
Unconcerned
They get undone
By a touch of sun
In June
Plus a touch of the moon
The girls of summer
Get fooled
'Cause soon the summer
Heat has cooled
And come September
They can't remember
Why
Things were hot in July
Not me!
It's too easy to fall—
The moonlit sand
A faraway band
And that's all
Not me!
I don't easily thrill
Never did, never will
The end of summer's
At hand
I thought the summer
Was grand
But here I am
With the same undamaged
Heart
That I had at the start
The girls of summer
Forgot to run
The girls of summer
Were bound to lose
The girls of summer
Have all the fun
I had nothing but blues
