about

That's A Few Things That A Summer's Made Of -

Each year, my family and I normally head to the beach for vacation, usually in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. On one trip, a few years back, I began thinking about all of the things that we have enjoyed or have done over the years while on vacation, and I started compiling a list of all of those things, which became this song.

lyrics

That's A Few Things...
Words and Music by Gary Snead
Copyright 2006

Blue Skies, Palm Trees
White Sand, Sea Breeze
Sunburn, Aloe Vera
Cold Beer, A Margarita
Hobie Cats, Jet Skis
Ownership, Rental Fees

That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It could be the Outer Banks or the Florida Keys,
Up in the Hampton's or Cape Cod if you please

Beach Towels, Deck Swings
Floppy Hats, Water Wings
Chaise lounge, Boogie Boards
Sea Shells, Reggae Chords
Para Sails, Fishin' Pier
Cheap Shades, Shark Fear

That's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
Maybe travel to La Jolla or to Carmel by the Sea,
End up in Puerto Vallarta or in Cabo you could be

Yeah, that's a few things that a summers made of,
When you go on a vacation to a beach that you love,
It might be a high rise hotel or a cottage by the sea,
As long as it's got sand there that's the place you'll want to be

Crab Legs, Fried Grouper
Steamed Shrimp, Conch Fritters
Go Karts, Tilt-A-Whirls
Ice Cream Vendors, Ticket Girls
Salt Water Taffy, Souvenirs
Tee Shirts, Goodbye Tears
