Summertime is finally here That old ballpark, man, is back in gear Out on forty nine Man I can see the lights School's out and the nights roll in Man, just like a long lost friend You ain't seen in a while And can't help but smile And it's two bare feet on the dashboard Young love and an old Ford Cheap shades and a tattoo And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard Perfect song on the radio Sing along 'cause it's one we know It's a smile, it's a kiss It's a sip of wine, it's summertime Sweet summertime Temperature says ninety three Down at the Deposit and Guarantee But that swimmin' hole It's nice and cold Bikini bottoms underneath But the boys' hearts still skip a beat When them girls shimmy off Them old cutoffs And it's two bare feet on the dashboard Young love and an old Ford Cheap shades and a tattoo And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard Perfect song on the radio Sing along 'cause it's one we know It's a smile, it's a kiss It's a sip of wine, it's summertime Sweet summertime The more things change The more they stay the same Don't matter how old you are When you know what I'm talkin' 'bout Yeah baby when you got Two bare feet on the dashboard Young love and an old Ford Cheap shades and a tattoo And a Yoo-Hoo bottle rollin' on the floorboard Perfect song on the radio Sing along 'cause it's one we know It's a smile, it's a kiss It's a sip of wine, it's summertime Sweet summertime
