| Oh hey, how was bird watching?
|
| I made this for you in arts and crafts
|
| It’s a clay zombie figure. |
| I know you like zombies right?
|
| Okay, I met a girl by the boathouse, she’s so lovely
|
| All I want from her is to kiss and hug me
|
| Honestly I’m homesick but she makes it all better
|
| Wow, that’s beautiful, what’s more beautiful?
|
| The way she looks at me when she busses her tray
|
| Pen-15 on my hand, Sharpie won’t wash away
|
| Thought I was played out on this whole love thing
|
| But she’s the type of girl I’d ask to wear my onion ring
|
| I’m ten years old, I thought girls were gross
|
| But this one’s cool, she likes my jokes
|
| I’ll keep her safe during capture the flag
|
| Spy on my team for her, enraptured that bad
|
| We go for a walk, I reach for her hand
|
| «I'm like I think I like you,» she’s like «That was the plan»
|
| I made her a sculpture in arts and crafts
|
| I farted on the hike she was the only girl who laughed!
|
| Summer camp love is so intense
|
| I’d French kiss her if I knew what that meant!
|
| Down by the lake there’s a girl that I know
|
| We met at camp almost six weeks ago
|
| No one can tell what next year might hold
|
| At summer camp
|
| The next May comes, she calls me
|
| She tells me she won’t be at camp this year
|
| I don’t know what to say, I’m sad
|
| Fast-forward eight years. |
| What a surprise. |
| It was well worth the wait
|
| Yo! |
| I’m nineteen now with a fun summer job
|
| Camp counselor for kids and it doesn’t seem odd
|
| Working at the same place I used to go to
|
| You want camp traditions? |
| Well let me show you
|
| And guess who’s back on staff this year?
|
| Little Miss Heartbreaker! |
| Oh dear
|
| All grown up and I’m thinking maybe
|
| Time can do beautiful things to a lady
|
| Skinny-dipping in the lake she starts to blush
|
| I reach for her hand and I feel the rush
|
| I hold her close and pretty soon
|
| We’re falling in love under a Tahoe moon
|
| I’m like, «I think I missed you,» she’s like
|
| «I missed you too,» this is what time and patience can do
|
| Summer camp love is so intense
|
| I’d be her man if I knew what that meant
|
| Down by the lake there’s a girl that I know
|
| We met at camp almost eight years ago
|
| No one can tell what next year might hold
|
| At summer camp
|
| September comes. |
| We go back to college. |
| I holler at her on Facebook
|
| She’s all up on my wall and shiz. |
| She calls me the next May
|
| She asks if I’m working again. |
| Fast-forward twenty years
|
| Now we’re both adults, it happened so fast
|
| And somehow our marriage has happened to last
|
| Had a ceremony by the boat house
|
| Where the ten year old me first checked her out
|
| And everyone was there, our family and friends
|
| I think I like the way this story ends
|
| We had a little girl who just turned ten, oh no
|
| Here we go again!
|
| Mom, Dad, um…
|
| What’s up Maddie?
|
| I met a boy by the boathouse!
|
| Summer camp love is so intense, it’s so in tents
|
| Summer camp love is so intense. |
| (Cupid must have taken archery lessons!)
|
| Summer camp love is so intense, it’s so in tents
|
| Summer camp love is so intense. |
| (This sailboat fits two people perfectly!)
|
| Down by the lake there’s a girl that I know
|
| We met at camp twenty-eight years ago
|
| No one can tell what next year might hold
|
| At summer camp
|
| Don’t be scared of the ghost stories. |
| I’m here
|
| The moral of the story is that some songs can be happy, just like life
|
| And even though life can be sad, sometimes you just have to smile and remember
|
| that summer camp love |
