I like it when the girls stop by.................In the summer 
CHORUS 1: 
New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits 
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick 
And i think its fly when girls stop by for the summer 
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch 
I'd take her if i had one wish 
But she's been gone since that Summer ... since that Summer
Hip Hop Momma laid Spic & Span 
Met you one summer & it all began 
You're the best girl did i ever did see 
The Great Larry Bird Jersey 33 
When you take a sip you Buzz like a Hornet 
Billy Shakespeare Wrote a bunch of sonnets 
Call me Willy Whistle Coz i can't speak baby 
Somethin' in your eyes really drove me crazy 
Now i can't forget you and it makes me mad 
Left one day and Never Came Back 
Stayed all Summer then went back Home 
McCullay Culkin was in Home-Alone 
Fell Deep In Love, but now we ain't Speakin 
Micheal J Fox Was Alex P. Keaton 
When i met you i said my name Was Rich 
You look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch 
Chorus 2 
New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits 
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick 
And i think its fly when girls stop by for the summer for the summer
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch 
I'd take her if i had one wish 
But she's been gone since that Summer ... since that summer
Cherry Pez Coke Crush Rock Stud Boogie 
Used to hate school, so i had to play hookie 
Always been hip to the be	 Boy Style 
Known to act wild and make a girl smile 
Love new edition and the Candy Girl 
Remind me of you because you rock my world 
Come from Georgia where the peaches grow 
They drink Lemonade and speak real slow 
You love Hip Hop and Rock & Roll 
Dad took off when you were 4 years Old 
There was a good man named Paul Revere 
I Feel much better baby when you're near 
You love Fun Dip and Cherry Coke 
I like the way you laugh when i tell a joke 
When i met you i said my name was Rich 
You looked like a girl from Abercrobie and Fitch 
Chorus 3 
New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits 
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick 
And i think its fly when girls stop by for the summer for the summer
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch 
I'd take her if i had one wish 
But she's been gone since that Summer ... since that summer
In The summertime girls got it goin on 
Shake and wiggle to a Hip Hop Song 
Summer time girls are the kind i like 
I Steal your hunny like i stole your Bike 
Boogaloo Shrimp and Pogo Sticks 
My mind takes me back there oh so quick 
Let you off the hook like my man Mr Limpit 
Think about that summer and i bug coz i miss it 
I like the Color Purple, Macaroni and Cheese 
Ruby red slippers and a bunch of Trees 
I call you up but what's the use 
I like Kevin Bacon but i hate Foot Loose 
I Came in the Door I Said It Before 
I Think I'm Over you But I'm really not sure 
When i met you i said my name was Rich 
You looked like a girl From Abercrombie and Fitch 
Chorus 4 
New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits 
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick 
And i think its fly when girls stop by for the summer for the summer
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch 
I'd take her if i had one wish 
But she's been gone since that Summer ... since that summer
Summer girls come and Summer girls go 
Some are worth While, and some are so so 
Summer girls come and Summer girls go 
Some are worth While, and some are so so 
Summertime girls got it goin' on 
Shake and wiggle to a hip hop song 
Summertime girls are the kind i like 
Steal your honey like I stole your bike 
Chorus 5: 
New Kids on the Block had a Bunch of Hits 
Chinese Food Makes Me Sick 
And i think its fly when girls stop by for the summer..for the summer
I Like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch 
I'd take her if i had one wish 
But she's been gone since that Summer ...
