The music always had something to say to us 

The girlfriends always had something to wear for us 

The little class from the back-beatin dream 

They rock-n-roll to the drums of the summer 



Sometimes we thought we were the only ones under the sun 

Dear ma and pa, we were just having fun 



We rock-n-roll to the big best summer 

We rock-n-roll to the drums, we were just having fun 



The skies were always the highest 

The lines were always behind us 

The little class from the back-beatin dream 

They rock-n-roll to the drums of the summer
