B A#

Leaning out,

A E

The sun roof of your car

It's alright,

You're not going fast

Summertime

You take it down to the shore

It's alright

I'm sure you've been there before

Turn and say the service here is...

Unkempt rhododendrons ruin an extraordinary view

There's knowledge and the knowing, but the knowing's fallen through
