Intro:

C  B  D7  G

#1:
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,
C                       G7
Vacation's just begun.

#2:
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,
F
 To see your new bathing suit.
D9
  It must be a gas 'cause one you had last,
G                  G7
 Gee! Was' it cute!

#3:
C          Am        Dm7      G7
So we will dance and bypass romance,
C         Am             Dm7      G7
Right now they say we're too young
C           C7        F  Fm
But I shall marry you my love
   C                            G7
As soon as you reach twenty one.
