Van Dyke Parks - Summer in Monterey lyrics

Wasn't so long ago That every year your family Would rent a house from June to Labor Day Summer in Monterey None of us wore no clothes In Monterey our feet were bare Our shorts were all we'd ever wear And I would jump for joy that you were there Take you to the movie show Watching arm in arm Used to hope the film would work it's charm Then You and I we'd saunter home Far behind the crowd Linger longer than your ma and pa had allowed Never in love before We couldn't wait to be alone To beat it to the ocean view cafe That was our hideaway Summer in Monterey Monterey oh Monterey Monterey oh Monterey I would love the crazy world to always stay that way Ocean breeze Breaking seas Out on the rocks around the windy curving bay Summer in Monterey Ocean breeze Breaking seas Out on the rocks around the windy curving bay Summer in Monterey
