The Summer Place Lyrics

Key: C
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
Since nineteen seventy seven
Now when she opens up the house
Well, she won't set foot in the kitchen
Her brother's dating an architect
They're coming up for the weekend
He never gave her the proper respect
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
Oh at the summer place we've got the space if you've got the time
And the summer place is so far away it's another state of
Mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind
She ran away back in '78
Just down the beach to the neighbors'
They brought her back after sunset
Her dad said, "Don't do me any favors"
Her mom would sit on the patio
She said she needed the sea air
She'd drink a fifth of Seagrams
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
Oh at the summer place we've got the space if you've got the time
And the summer place is so far away it's another state of
Mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind, mi-i-i-ind
At fifteen shoplifting
Was the only game she liked to play
At forty she's so bored she
Thinks about it then decides to pay
And still she can't help feeling
Those good old days don't seem so far away
Was it just yesterday
She took a handful of mushrooms
That she got from a surfer
She spent the night in the hospital room
So the doctors could observe her
Oh at the summer place we've got the space you should drop on by
At the summer place the injuries fade but the memories last a life-
Ti-i-i-ime, a lifetimi-i-i-ime
A lifetimi-i-i-ime, a lifetimi-i-i-ime (pushed)
At the end of the first two lines in each verse the chord pattern rocks between Am and
Am7 twice: C C/B Am (Am Am7 Am Am7)
