One Perfect Summer Night

I was just about thirteen or so,
We had a party on the patio,
Played some records on the stereo,
Bermuda shorts and loafers, we were good to go.

It was great just to be alive
In the summer of '65.

Called all the boys in the neighborhood,
Lured them in with some silly food.
Once they were there, we knew that Percy would
Get them in the proper make-out mood.

That's how it was, we were so alive
In the summer of '65.

A sudden shower couldn't ruin our night,
The basement was the perfect snuggle sight.
And afterwards the girls all spent the night,
We talked and talked until the morning light.

Lord, it was nice to be alive
In the summer of '65.
