2L Summer

to "Summer Nights" from Grease

Law Firm Summer Associates (and Public Interest Summer Interns)

Summer law firm, I was well paid
(Summer intern for Legal Aid)
Earned a fortune, so they owned me
(Nearly starved, working for free)
Summer days slaving away
But oh, could I do this for life?

(Tell me more, tell me more, did you eat at Nobu?)
Tell me more, tell me more, lunch at Sizzler for two!

Big tobacco needed a hand
(Helped a crack ho prep for the stand)
Xeroxed files till 10 o'clock
(Took a trip to her cell block)
In this place, we're on the case
But oh, could we do this for life?

Tell me more, tell me more, was she busted with coke?
(Tell me more, tell me more, did you get some free smokes?)

Our client paid off the riff raff
(Our office laid off half the staff)
I played no part, interns were barred
(I had to work ten times as hard)
Summer work, we didn't shirk
But oh, could we do this for life?

What a bore, what a bore, I got good at Freecell
(Pay me more, pay me more, my one suit looks like hell)

After next year, I'll still be their bitch
(If I stay here, I'll never be rich)
Sold my soul for a big fee
(Wish I had done EIP)
Summer work drove us berserk
But oh, are we stuck here now?
We're not sure, we're not sure

Danny and the Thunderbirds (and Sandy and the Pink Ladies)

Summer loving, had me a blast
(Summer loving, happened so fast)
I met a girl, crazy for me
(Met a boy, cute as can be)
Summer days, drifting away
To oh, oh, the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?
(Tell me more, tell me more, like does he have a car?)

She swam by me, she got a cramp
(He ran by me, got my suit damp)
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
(He showed off, splashing around)
Summer sun, something's begun
But oh, oh, the summer nights

(Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?)
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put a fight?

Took her bowling in the arcade
(We went strolling, drank lemonade)
We made out under the dock
(We stayed up till ten o'clock)
Summer fling, don't mean a thing
But oh, oh, the summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more, but you don't gotta brag
(Tell me more, tell me more, 'cause he sounds like a drag)

(He got friendly, holding my hand)
She got friendly down in the sand
(He was sweet, just turned eighteen)
Well, she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet
But oh, the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
