Have a Nice Summer

She’s so prim and proper, yeah
She speaks the Queen’s English even though she comes from Miami (from Miami!)
She hates philosophy and she’s religiously confused
But she’ll tell you all about the goddess and astrology


CHORUS:
It’s been a year since I saw her last (it’s been a year!)
I was supposed to go and visit her last spring
I left some drunken messages on her answering machine
She sent a card saying “thanks for the birthday present
And have a nice summer”
Have a nice summer

She’s always searching for something to believe in (oh yeah!)
But once she believes it she won’t believe anything else
She’s socially uptight but she worships all the biggest tramps, yeah.
Her idols never can do any wrong.

Repeat chorus

Guitar solo

This uptight little girl listens to songs about…
Of course if I ever wrote such a song you know she’d think I was repugnant
She’s seemingly sweet but she’s always in a funky state of mind –oh yeah
She loves to talk but she never ever says what’s on her mind (What’s on her mind?)
What’s on her mind? (What’s on her mind?)
What’s on her mind? (What’s on her mind?)
What’s on her m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mind?
