I like all the different people 
I like sticky everywhere 
Look around, you bet I'll be there! 
Hot metal in the sun 
Pony in the air 
Sooey and saints at the fair 
  
Saints alive you're saying 
Walk in ... squares 
The hid are out, out for the year 
It's a lot of face 
A lot of crank air 
Eroding around here 
  
Summer's ready 
Summer is ready when you are 
  
I like all the different people 
I like every kind of fair 
In the crowd, you bet I'll be there! 
Walkin' around 
Going nowhere 
Seeing Sooey and saints at the fair 
  
Summer is ready when you are 
Summer is ready when you are 
Summer's ready 
Summer is ready when you are 
Summer's ready 
Summer is ready when you are 
  
It's a lot of face, crank air 
  
Summer's ready 
Summer is ready when you are
