It's such a lazy summer night,
Bm7-5 E7 A7 A7sus4 A7
There's not a moving thing in sight
A7sus4 Am7 Am Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
It's all so qui - et, no ri - ot,

Why, even in the thicket, Mister Cricket's slowin' down.

For fan - cy dream - in' and seem - in'

To just relax and run away from town.

Hey take a look at all those other cars;
F Fdim(III) F
They're parked here just like ours, to count the stars above;
Am7 D7 Am7 D7
It seems we're not alone. I guess I should have known,
G7 Dm7 G7 Dm7
Romance runs high the last two weeks in July.

Tonight the fire flies will light

The way for lov - ers, for lovers like us to love.

It's such a lazy summer night.
I missed out on this song for over 40 years -- I literally had never heard it until the local oldies station aired it as part of a "guest DJ of the day" insert into the nationally syndicated Eddie Hubbard radio show. Oddly, that's not the first time Hubbard's guest DJ introduced me to a song I'd never heard, and instantly fell in love with -- the other is "A Dreamer's Holiday," also found on this site.
