Lyrics:

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, 'I don't dance'
He said, 'Baby let me teach you'
She said, 'O.K., when?'
He said, 'How can I reach you baby
I'd really like to see you again'
He picked her up on a Friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
And he walked her home and he kissed her
He was walking on air all week
Well, they couldn't stand to be apart
They couldn't leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, 'It's getting late sweetheart
It's time that boy went home'
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, 'Here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness'
It was the last day of summer
They came walking home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her the wedding band
Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God Bless
Now, here's to the two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness

[matthewdrake]

35 years after i first saw it and that walk/jig Mel Collins does at 2 mins is still one of the greatest things Ive ever seen!! 😂

[kderinoglu]

Hal Lindes is like: Hey, this is my great moment. I must do my best to make every moment worth.
Result: Insane! 👏👏👏🎸

Love this song!! Amazing rhythms of guitars, piano and saxophone!!

[PsychoGallagher]

Fun fact: Mel Collins went on to become the sax player in Helmut Zerlett's band on the Harald Schmidt late night show in Germany for many, many years. Still amazes me because I loved that show :)
