I'm writing you these lines to make the summer go by
this song is all I have to give to you my dear.
It's sort of a promise ring in words thats all I can
do until the next time that I see you take this song its for you.

*chorus*
Wait til this summer you know that this boy loves her
but all he can do is write in words he promises that
she comes first and they will talk everyday but the
states won't keep away or keep him from not keeping
his promise to her on this day the promise day.

Call me up whenver you need on these tin can phones
we've made. They'll stretch across the countryside.
Just yell and I won't hesitate.
It's sort of a promise ring in words thats all I can
do until the next time I see you take this song its for you.

*chorus*
