WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
(Chip Taylor / Al Gorgoni)


Just Us - 1967



Nobody here but you and me
On an empty beach by the lonely sea
And it's gettin' chilly
Then put a sweater on and come inside
Time to give your mind a ride


What are we gonna do in New York City
When the leaves are on the ground
And the snow comes tumblin' down
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's gone
Give me one good reason
Why we can't have a season
That will last the whole year long


(What are we gonna do in New York City)


The weather man said it's a pity
But the world still turns around
We'll be headin' back into town
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's gone
Nothin' lasts forever
And a change in the weather's
Gonna get here before too long


(It's been such a lovely Summer)
(Wish it could last forever)
(Maybe we'll be together next time around)


What are we gonna do in New York City
When the leaves are on the ground
And the snow comes tumblin' down
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do) When the Summer's over
(What are we gonna do)............................FADE
