While I got you listening
   Let me bend your ear
   Back to the glistening summertimes of yesteryear
   Little girls in their short shorts
   Showing off their legs and tans
   Little boys thinking they know what it takes to be a man
   We do what we can
   In this wet hot american summer
   You're my wet hot american dream
   That is if you notice me
   And who knows what the summer could bring?
  
   I'm feeling kinda restless
   I'm feeling all mixed up
   I'm feeling like the girl I want is going to show me what she's a made of
   Why can't I be the boy that everybody loves?
   Why can't I be the boy that everybody loves?
   Is it always this tough?
   'Cause in this wet hot american summer
   You're my wet hot american dream
   That is if you notice me
   But who knows what the summer could bring?
  
   Anywhere no matter what; I got my good friends by my side
   And either way the time ago but I don't want these 3 months to die
  
   'Cause in this wet hot american summer
   You're my wet hot american dream
   That is if you notice me
   But who knows what the summer could bring?
  
   Most anything
