Summer of Love
By: Noah Eaton
7/13/04

Summer of love,
summer of love,
summer of love,
summer of love.

I'm skipping to your candy store,
to see all that's new on display,
in my bellbottoms and Birkenstocks,
looking for a love joyride getaway,
there's not a cloud in the sky,
the temperature's rising,
the oceans are chanting,
a tropical fish opera...

The skies are dripping,
oranges and cream,
so let's stick out our tongues,
and lick this psychedlic lollipop.
The oceans are boiling,
hotter than the Sutro Baths,
surf's up, big Kahuna,
let's see how you manuever this Endless Summer!

Through every rock and roll heartbeat,
I'm dreaming of you, baby.
It's the Summer of Love,
don't you just love the love?
In your heart I feel the love,
I'm in love with the Summer of Love...

    

I couldn't imagine it could get any better than this,
until you ignited your sweet cherry torpedo kiss!
(Brushing our teeth with nothing but cinnamon tooth picks,
my lips are stained forever with your passion fruit lipstick.)

Partying around the bushfire,
partying like we're in heaven,
partying in this liquid comic book,
partying like it's 1967!

Through every rock and roll heartbeat,
I'm dreaming of you, baby.
It's the Summer of Love,
don't you just love the love?
In your heart I feel the love,
I'm in love with the Summer of Love...

    

(Electric gypsies are singing,
through Fender Twin Reverb,
the quintophonic Karma-Sutra,
amplifying the summer,
baby boomers and their babies,
stratocasting wild heaven,
Tonight's the first night in the rest of your life,
so c'mon, let's party like it's '67!
.
.
.
(Flex those lips, swedish fish!)
.
.
.
(This is only the beginning of this invisible circus!)
.
.
.
(Ooohhhhh, that wasn't even the sugar buzz!)
.
.
.
(I'm just getting warmed up!)
.
.
.
(I'll show you some real spanish castle magic!)
.
.
.
(Abba-ka-zaba, Nik-L-Nips!)
.
.
.
She's skipping to my candy store,
to see all that's new on display,
in a mini-skirt and flowers in her hair,
looking for a love joyride getaway.
Rainbows swarm with butterfly wings,
every time she breathes,
she croons wild honey and patchouli,
she's soooooooo cha-cha-charming!

Through every rock and roll heartbeat,
I'm dreaming of you, baby.
It's the Summer of Love,
don't you just love the love?
In your heart I feel the love,
I'm in love with the Summer of Love...

Tonight's the first night in the rest of your life,
so c'mon, let's party like it's heaven,
Tonight's the first night in the rest of your life,
so c'mon, let's party like it's '67!

I'm in love with the Summer of Love...
.
.
.
.
.
Summer of love,
(I'm in love with the Summer of Love!)
summer of love,
(I'm in love with the Summer of Love!)
summer of love,
(I'm in love with the Summer of Love!)
summer of love.
(I'm in love with the Summer of Love!)

My sweet friend, I do believe you are part hippie, part gypsie, part angel ~ and part space cadet! ~ and I especially enjoy the latter part! It takes one ~ to appreciate one! Nanoo Nanoo

I love the colourful, joyful spirit of your fancy-free writes!

May your summer be full of fun fun fun and love love love!
