Summertime, here I am waiting just for you,

Cloudy skies are making me feel oh so blue,

Summertime, capture me and steal my heart away,

Warm me with a golden ray of beautiful sunshiny day,

Summertime, knock on my door and hit me one more time,

Intoxicate me and fill my glass with dandelion wine,

Summertime on the streets and the living is so easy,

Give me all you got - you sure know how to please me,

It is hot in the city and the roads are on fire,

It is steaming and the night is filled with desire,

The radio is blaring and playing my favourite tune,

Got myself in the red hot groove of a flaming June,

Everybody in house jump up and dive in the pool,

The heat is on and these stray cats are really cool,

The sweat is running like a river down my back,

There is no escape and no relief – but I will not crack,

What on earth in the blazing sky is going on?

The jet stream is out of tune and not singing on song,

I am laid out cooking like a lobster on a sandy beach,

Taking in the view as pure and pretty as a peach,

The mercury is climbing and my temperature is rising,

An ice cold beer is called for - that is not surprising,

I am screaming out loud for a giant ice cream,

Wide awake but caught in a Heat Wave Dream.
