in the summertime I don’t wear no shoes
I got no plans, I got nothin’ to lose
so I kick back and play some blues
count by twos, pay my dues
in the summertime she don’t wear no dress
her hairs a mess and I don’t think less
if more is less and simple is best
c’mon put some sunshine to the test
yeah no less, baby than my best
2
in the summertime I don’t run no race
I play no games, they don’t call me ace
win lose or draw I got it all
figured out, yeah less is more
in the summertime I don’t make no haste
I horde my chill that I don’t waste
in an endless supply right here in this case
so c’mon on put some sunshine on my face
like the human race, is full of grace
in the summertime sho nuff feel fine
in the summertime
3
in the summertime I don’t feel no rage
I don’t act my age, I listen to the sage
a wise man call party on for one and all
whether short, tall, light, limber, loose, sweet or small
in the summertime I love your face
your frills your lace, intoxicating space
your effervescent soul, spirit your taste
I can taste the sunshine right off your face
I love that taste, new frontiers in space
