Summertime and the Listening is Easy
Summer?s here. . . I'm for that. Got my rubber sandals, got my straw hat.Schools out for summer. Schools out. For. Ever. And the livin? is easy. Can you surry? Can you picnic?? You?re gonna need an ocean of calamine lotion. Good day sunshine; gonna make our own lighting. We?re barefootin; hot summer streets and the pavements are burning.
I sit around trying to smile but the air is so heavy and dry; back of my neck getting dirty and gritty. Well I feel that burning flame. Has high blood pressure got a hold on me? Went to the fortune teller to have my fortune read. Well there ain?t no cure for the summer time blues. Girls comb their hair in the rear view mirrors. I really dig those styles they wear. They`re out there a`havin` fun in that warm California sun.
The heat of the day begins to die; the faintest breeze comes drifting by. My fickle friend the summer wind.
