Summertime came to Sicamore Street
They were seventeen and crazy from the heat
Full moon filled the Mississippi sky
That was their first time

Silhouettes danced on the living room wall
She took him by the hand and led him down the hall
Under the spell of a casablanca fan
She became a woman and he became a man

chorus
Oh the fire and lust draws you in and burns you up
Ooh the feelings so sweet
Makes you go crazy
Crazy from the heat

All summer along they were slipping around
Making the most of that feeling they'd found
Word got out, the town began to talk
Her mama and daddy found out about it all

chorus

Cardboard boxes on a cold drive way
He watched from his window as they drove away
She looked up, she got in
He never saw her again

chorus

Summertime came to Sicamore Street
They were seventeen and crazy from the heat
