oh the memories, they come a-streamin`
when I`m walkin` `round here dreamin`
on a summers night on Hammer Hill
oh, it`s hard to stay with the subject
when you think you of something so perfect
as a summers night on Hammer Hill
I had a friend who was slightly overweight
that means fatass in the seventh grade
I still remember the steamy dressing room
where they beat him black and blue
yeah they beat him black and blue
oh, but it`s hard to stay mad when there`s so much beauty
an open window, someone`s playing Tutti Frutti
it`s a summers night on Hammer Hill
I had a friend, a girl who looked sort of like a guy
I can`t forget her dark painful eyes
when they burned her with a cigarette lighter
when the cops came they had to untie her
another girl was free to grow up as cynical writer
oh, but it`s hard to stay mad when there`s so much beauty
an open window, someone`s playing Tutti Frutti
it`s a sweet summers night on Hammer Hill
I wanna die right here
on a sweet summers night on Hammer Hill
