Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whispering on a cool summer's day
I found my soul and took it back to her place
Skipping over lines on the pavement
Writing rhymes on the bus station
[Verse 2]
People plotting in the grass
Kicking ball in the park
Drinking brews after dark
Remember how we laughed
[Verse 3]
Laughed till we cried, till the morning came
With those girls, oh right
And, oh, what were their names?
[Verse 4]
July
July, July, July was a lovely year
It was a lovely year
We didn't have a lot of money
But you get me
[Verse 5]
Remember leaving town in a crazy ball of smoke
We drank a bit too much, our pockets were broke
Dreaming of beaches
Dreaming of women in skimpy bikinis
[Verse 6]
Traveled to a costa-del-somethin'
Made sure it's in England, so it costed us nothin'
Wishing on a superstar
We wished upon the sun
And our wishes went oh, so far
[Verse 7]
Driving in the driving seat
Playing James Brown at four in the morning
Just so I don't sleep and a week goes
Another week with me and my amigos, amigos
[Verse 8]
Using grass for the pillow
Making sure we say hello
To all our future summer lovers
Last July, I got a lot of numbers
I'll see you next year when we do another runner
[Verse 9]
July
July, July, July was a lovely year
It was a lovely year
We didn't have a lot of money
But you get me
[Verse 10]
And we sang
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da
[Verse 11]
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da
[Verse 12]
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da
[Verse 13]
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day
Boo-da-ba-dee-ba-day-da
[Verse 14]
I say, I say, I say, July
July, July, July was a lovely year
It was a lovely year
We didn't have a lot of money
But you get me
[Verse 15]
July, July, July was a lovely year
