And get yourself a new tattoo
 For those sleeveless days of June

 I'm sitting on the Caf? Xeno's steps
 With a book I haven't started yet
 Watching all the girls walk by...

 Could I take you out?
 I'll be yours without a doubt
 On that Big Dipper

 And if the sound of this it frightens you
 We could play it real cool
 And act somewhat indifferent

 And hey June  why'd you have to come
 Why'd you have to come around, so soon?
 I wasn't ready for all this nature
 The terrible green green grass
 And violent blooms of flowered dresses
 And afternoons that make me sleepy

 But we could wait awhile
 Before we push that dull turnstile
 Into the passage

 The thousands they have tread
 And others sometimes fled
 Before the turn came

 And we could wait our lives
 Before a chance arrives
 Before the passage

 From the top you can see Monterey
 Or think about San Jose
 Though I know it's not that pleasant

 And hey Jim, Kerouac
 Or so he likes to say.
 Lucky bastard

 He's sitting on the cafe Xeno's steps
 With a girl I'm not over yet
 Watching all the world go by

 "Boy you're looking bad
 Did I make you feel that sad?
 I'm honestly flattered."

 But if she asks me out,
 I'll be hers without a doubt
 On that Big Dipper

 Cigarettes, and carrot juice
 And get yourself a new tattoo
 For those sleeveless days of June...

 I'm sitting on the Caf? Xeno's steps...
 I haven't got the courage yet
 I haven't got the courage yet
 I haven't got the courage yet
