summer of loving - roy zimmerman lyrics

Loading...

[spoken intro]
in the summer of 1967, the us supreme court heard the case of loving versus virginia, perhaps the greatest name for a court case ever!

[verse 1]
we can love who we love * love is free
we can live like we live* be and let be
we can finally trade i do’s
with whoever we may choose

[chorus]
it’s the summer of loving
loving v. virginia
and people are peoplе
it ain’t what’s outside that matters, it’s what’s in ya

[spoken interlude]
richard and mildred loving camе from caroline county, virginia where their interracial marriage ran afoul of a state law called the racial integrity act of 1924 * “act” was spelled with three k’s, for some reason

but in the summer of 1967, the supreme court overturned their convictions, assuring us that never again would the government decide who can and cannot be joined in matrimonial bliss

[verse 2]
black or white (black or white)
brown or yellow (brown or yellow)
red or green (red or green)

walk in style (walk in style)
down the aisle (down the aisle)
if you know what i mean (he didn’t mean green)
yes, i did
find a white dress or a tux
it ain’t n0body’s business who a person marries

[chorus]
it’s the summer of loving
loving v. virginia
and people are people
it ain’t what’s outside that matters, it’s what’s in ya

[bridge]
hey, people, it’s 1967, can you dig it?
uncle sae*ae*ae*ae*am ain’t no bigot no more
and strom thurmond’s reconciled
with the mother of his child

[spoken interlude]
and in november of 2008, the voters of california and the mormon church outlawed same*s*x marriage in that state, and soon that case, or a case like it, will reach the supreme court too, but, you know: g*y men could always get married. it’s just their wives didn’t think much of it

[verse 3]
we can love who we love
‘til death do us part
‘cause no state can legislate
the human heart

fear and prejudice are gone forever
or ’til two*thousand nine whichever comes first
[chorus]
it’s the summer of loving
loving v. virginia
people are people
it ain’t what’s outside that matters…

[chorus]
it’s the summer of loving
loving v. virginia
people are people
it ain’t what’s outside that matters…

it’s what’s in ya
(it’s what’s in ya)
it’s what’s in ya
