Summertime Songtext
von The Wipe Outs

Drums please
Summertime

Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime

Here it is, the groove slightly transformed
Just a bit of a break from the norm
Just a little something to break the monotony
Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
A little bit out of control, it′s cool to dance
But what about the groove that soothes and moves romance?
Give me a soft subtle mix

And if it ain't broke, then don′t try to fix it

And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the bass and let the Alpine blast
Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise and lay back
'Cause this is summertime


Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime

School is out and it's a sort of a buzz
And back then I didn′t really know what it was

But now I see what I′m having this
The way that people respond to summer madness

The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell them who's best
Riding around in your Jeep or your Benzos
Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos
Back in Philly, we be out in the park
A place called the plateau is where everybody go
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turned around to see what you beepin′ at

It's like the summer′s a natural aphrodisiac
And with a pen and pad, I compose this rhyme
To hit you and get you equipped for the summertime


Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime

It's late in the day and I ain′t been on the court yet
Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
Yeah, I got on sneaks, but I need a new pair
'Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
The temperature's about eighty-eight
Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
Break to your crib, change your clothes once more
′Cause you′re invited to a barbecue that's starting at four

Sitting with your friends ′cause you all reminisce
About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
And as I think back, makes me wonder how the smell
From a girl could spark up nostalgia
All the kids that are playing out front
And little boys mess around with the girls playing double dutch
While the DJ's spinning the tune
As the old folks dance at your family reunion

Then everybody coming and looking, yeah, real fine
Fresh from the barbershop or fly from the beauty salon

Every moment fronting and maxing
Chilling in the car they spent all day waxing
Leaning to the side, but you can′t speed through
Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
There's an air of love and of happiness
And this is the Fresh Prince′s new definition of summer madness

Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
I just sit back and unwind
Summertime, summertime
