(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum)

(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum-dum)



The boat rides we would take

The moonlight on the lake

The way we danced (do the twist) and hummed our favorite song

(Loco-motion, do the loco-motion)

The things we did last summer

I'll remember (I'll remember) all winter long



The midways and the fun

The kewpie dolls we won

The bell you rang (at Palisades Park) to prove that you were strong

(The bell you rang to prove you were strong)

The things we did last summer

I'll remember (I'll remember) all winter long



The early morning hike

The rented tandem bike

The lunches that we used to pack

We never could explain

That sudden summer rain

The looks we got when we got back



The leaves began to fade

Like promises we made

How could a love that seemed so right go wrong?

(How could a love go so wrong?)

The things we did last summer

I'll remember (I'll remember, oh yes) all winter long



(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum)

(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum)

(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum)

(doddy dum dum) (dah-dah-dah-dah-dum)
