Lyrics

Ridin 'round town with all the windows down

Eight track playin all your favorite sounds

The rhythm of the bongos fill the park

The street musicians tryin' to get a start

'Cause it's summer

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

Stretched out on a blanket in the sand

Kids of all ages diggin' Disneyland

Rappin on the C.B. radio in your van

We'll give a big "10-4" to the truckin' man

'Cause it's summer

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

Young boys playin' stick ball in the street

Fire hydrants help to beat the heat

Old man feeding pigeons in the square

Night time finds young lovers walking there, oh yeah

'Cause it's summer

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

In Atlantic City or out in Malibu

Or anywhere between, I'm telling you

When you feel those balmy breezes on your face

Summertime is the best time any place

'Cause it's summer

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

'Cause it's summer (oh-yeah)

Summertime is here (yes, it is)

Yes, it's summer

My time of year

'Cause it's summer

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer (yes, it is)

My time of year

'Cause it's summer (summertime is here)

Summertime is here

Yes, it's summer (yeah)

My time of year
