Wrote this song in '42
I'll reincarnate just for you
Marching to the battle drum

When this song was just a hum
Rolling in my head
And keeping me from losing it

Is this little soldier gonna make it
'Till it's june n july?
Till june n july?


It's hard to tell this story without
Giving away confidential facts

About the secret army camp
And all it's occupants
Two girls in particular

Had the eyes of officers
Upon them, they were twins
And their names happened to be

June n july
They were june n july
Calling june n july

They were june n july

I can't fight the fever

When I think about that summer
I can't fight the fever
When I think about that summer


It was the coldest morning
We had seen upon the battlefield

Two of the enlisted were frozen
From the inside out
And when they called for

Special volunteers then
I knew that it was my turn
I stood up

And so did june n july
So did june n july


What happened on that day
I can't repeat
I'm sworn to secrecy

We thought we were
The side of righteousness
Freedom and liberty

Now I look back through the years
And I feel differently
What if we had waited

Had held out
Till it was june n july?
Till june n july

Calling june n july
Oh june n july


I can't fight the fever
When I think about that summer
I can't fight the fever

When I think about that summer

Will you listen to my story

Call it testimonial
Will it matter to you
Will it change your mind at all

I know that you're young, girl,
Got so much ahead of you
Listen to your heart then

Only to yourself be true

I can't fight the fever

When I think about that summer
I can't fight the fever
When I think about that summer
