C        Am           Dm7      G7         
Picnics, beaches, and ballrooms,

C            Am       Dm7   G7 
 Just me and my honey bun;

C               C7       F        Fm
Home-work they shout, is over and out,

Vacation's just begun.

C            Am      Dm7            G7
Far from the city, beneath a shade-tree,

C              Am         Dm7   G7
We'll spread a basket for two;

C             C7       F          Fm
Then we'll discuss the future for us,

    C                               C  
And I'll whisper love words to you.

Chorus:

C9
  Just can't wait for that swimmin' date,

 To see your new bathing suit.

  It must be a gas 'cause one you had last,

 Gee! Was' it cute!

C          Am        Dm7      G7
So we will dance and bypass romance,

Right now they say we're too young

C           C7        F  Fm
But I shall marry you my love

As soon as you reach twenty one.
