Lyrics
Sweet watermelon or lemonaide,
bright green trees, you got is made in the shade
Clear blue skies and cherries pies
summertime is here
Floatin down the river in an inner tube,
soakin up the rays, getting nearly nude
riding a bike, just takin a hike,
summertime is here
The sun is shining brightly up in the sky
trees are swayin lightly, with a sigh
everything is right with the world
and every summer boy will find a summer girl
Pic-a-nic lunches underneath a tree
hot fried chicked and clod iced tea
bar-b-que pits and "Beach Boys" hits
summertime is here
...
Clothesline flags flappin in the wind
front porch sittin, sippin tonic and gin
bright sun kites and firefly nights
summertime is here
