Honey, can't you notice things
are diff'rent ev'rywhere,
Flowers blooming, and perfuming
all the garden air.
Dearie don't you know what's happening
Can't you tell the sign,
That means "Goodbye, Spring! and
"Hello good old Summer time,"
Lock your houses,
close your flats,
Get bathing suits
and new straw hats.

Hello Summer!
How do you do?
Where've you been for all these months
you haven't called upon us once;
Gee! We've missed your long,
long Summer nights,
Stay awhile, don't go,
For we just love to spoon
'neath the yellow mellow moon,
Summer, Hello!

Hello Summer!
How do you do?
Where've you been for all these months
you haven't called upon us once;
Gee! We've missed your long,
long Summer nights,
Stay awhile, don't go,
For we just love to spoon
'neath the yellow mellow moon,
Summer, Hello!

Honey, now's the time to marry,
be a bride of June,
All July, dear, you and I, dear'll
have our honeymoon.
Just today I saw a bungalow
down beside the sea,
Big enough for just us two,
and far too small for three.
Take your furs and wraps and shawls
and put them all in camphor balls.

Hello Summer!
How do you do?
Where've you been for all these months
you haven't called upon us once;
Gee! We've missed your long,
long Summer nights,
Stay awhile, don't go,
For we just love to spoon
'neath the yellow mellow moon,
Summer, Hello!

Hello Summer!
How do you do?
Where've you been for all these months
you haven't called upon us once;
Gee! We've missed your long,
long Summer nights,
Stay awhile, don't go,
For we just love to spoon
'neath the yellow mellow moon,
Summer, Hello!
