summertime is here


children dressed in summer clothes
drinking water from a garden hose
where time goes, nobody knows
summer feels so long
when you are eight years of age
icicles and lemonade
dogs march in imaginary parades
step to a summer song

          summer's here
          school is out
          that's what the fuss
          is all about
          best time of the
          whole damn year
          summertime is here

it's not winter, spring or fall
the sunflowers are standing tall
teenagers meet at the mall
summer's in the air
maybe you might feel too hot
then again, maybe not
iced tea just might hit the spot
that summer put right there

          summer's here
          school is out
          that's what the fuss
          is all about
          best time of the
          whole damn year
          summertime is here

in a few months the wind will blow
the snow will make your whole world cold
and summer will be getting old
and then you will remember
the warm, calm nights spent at home
on the porch or parts unknown
ice cream in a waffle cone
in those days before September

          summer's here
          school is out
          that's what the fuss
          is all about
          best time of the
          whole damn year
          summertime is here
