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
