Summer’s in the air

We got bugs but I don’t care

And soon we’ll be there

On the waves


The sun is everywhere

I got sand in my hair

My leg sticks to the chair

It smells life aftershave


Oh, ho!

Off we go

To the beach

We gon be riding the waves


Oh, ho!

Off we go

We’ll live out our summer days


We lay down towels on the sand

But the wind blew it far and wide

The umbrella pole hit me in the side


And then it became high tide
