There's an ol' beach I love
Down in the South
I could spend endless summers
In that rented house
The shells on the shore
They're speakin' to me
So loudly and clearly
Like the roar from the sea

Chorus:
The shrimpin' boats go sailing by
The dolphins in their wake
The kids are out, they're waiting for
The biggest of the waves
You and I are soakin' in
The sunshine's golden rays
It's summertime in Edisto today

There's a wind blowin' in
A storm in the sky
We should take cover until it blows by
The shrimpin boats' go sailin' by
The dolphins in their wake
Clouds above have lightning, strikin' on the waves
Family gathers inside til' the storm blows away
It's summertime in Edisto today

Bridge:
Others go to Hilton Head
Or maybe Myrtle Beach
We've got it right here: a Carolina retreat

There's an ol' beach I love
Down in the South
I could spend endless summers
In that rented house
The shells on the shore
They're speakin' to me
So loudly and clearly
Like the roar from the sea

Chorus:
The shrimpin' boats go sailing by
The dolphins in their wake
The kids are out, they're waiting for
The biggest of the waves
You and I are soakin' in
The sunshine's golden rays
It's summertime in Edisto today

Darkness fills up the sky
Stars are shining tonight
The moon is dancin'
The Atlantic tonight
Another day slips away,
We wish it good night
It's Endless Summer
In Edisto tonight
