This is a song of memories. Back in the days when Brenda and I were young and poor, we
found inexpensive ways to entertain ourselves. This is about those good days.


HOT SUMMER NIGHTS (AT THE SONIC)
By James E. Nelson
Vocals - James and Brenda Nelson

Refrain:
Chili dogs onion rings limeaid and napkins
brought out by a car hop on a hot summer night.
After we're done we'll hold hands at the Sonic
and listen to the music of summer.

1. Let's go to the park and lay down on the cool grass.
We'll watch all the people pass by.
Then we'll walk to the lake, feed the geese by the water
and afterwards we'll go to the Sonic.

Refrain

2. How 'bout a ball game? We'll sit in the cheap seats,
get sunburned and hoarse 'cause we'll yell for our team.
Maybe I'll catch a foul ball with my bare hands and afterwards
give it to you at the Sonic.

Refrain

3. The sidewalks are frying the flowers all lying
half dead in the garden with no end in sight.
So let's go to the movies and stay cool and snuggle
Then. afterwards we'll go to the Sonic.
