Book & Lyrics for
SUMMER OF LOVE
Bettina and Ludwig are wrapped up in sheets and blankets in the
middle of the floor, in post-coital bliss.
BEET
This is remarkable. I’ve never heard of such a thing. You called it free-love?
BETTINA
We did in the summer of ’67. The Summer Of Love. But, you know, there’s always a cost.
BEET
No attachments?
BETTINA
What can I say? We were younger then. (Song 10- SUMMER OF LOVE)
BETTINA
YOU COULD LOVE ANYBODY THAT YOU WANTED TO LOVE
YOU COULD LOVE ANYBODY IN THE TOWN
YOU COULD LOVE ANYBODY, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING
YOU DIDN’T NEED A WEDDING RING
YOU COULD SEE ANYBODY AS A HUMAN BEING
BIG OR SMALL EVERYBODY WAS A GEM
YOU COULD SEE ANYBODY WITH A HEART THAT’S OPEN
AND IT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER WHEN
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
EVERYONE WAS LOVING ME UP
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
BOTH
THEY SANG “OOH LA LA LA OOH (2X)
BEET
I CAN LOVE ANYBODY THAT I WANT TO LOVE
I’M NOT IN ANY HURRY AS YOU SEE
THE FOLKS OF SAN FRANCISCO SIMPLY ARE AMAZING
I TIP MY HAT TO THE LAND OF THE FREE
BEET & BETTINA
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
EVERYONE WAS LOVING ME UP
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
BOTH
THEY SANG “OOH LA LA LA OOH (X2)
BETTINA
WE FOUND THE LOCK AND KEY,
PSYCHEDELICS OPENED OUR MIND
WE HAD NO IDEA THE PRECIOUS GOLD WE WOULD MINE
WE LET GO OF CONSERVATIVE NOTIONS
WE OPTED FOR A SACRED POTION
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
BEET
I WAS LIVING A DREAM, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD FLY
I SAILED THROUGH THE UNIVERSE IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
I’M LIKE A STONE THAT KEEPS ROLLING
I’M LIKE A FLOWER UNFOLDING
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
BOTH
OOH LA LA LA OHH
I CAN LOVE ANYBODY THAT I WANT TO LOVE
I CAN LOVE ANYBODY IN THIS TOWN
I CAN LOVE ANYBODY, IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING
BEET
BUT I HOPE YOU WILL STICK AROUND
(They kiss)
