CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning
VERSE 1: Here it is a groove slightly transformed Just a bit of a break from the norm Just a little somethin' to break the monotony Of all that hard-core dance that has gotten to be A little bit out of control, it's cool to dance But what about a groove that soothes to move romance Give me a soft subtle mix And if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it And think of 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 it's summertime
CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning
VERSE 2: School is out and it's a sort of a buzz But back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what happened is The way that people respond to "Summer Madness" The weather is hot and girls dressin' less And checkin' out the fellas to tell 'em who's best Ridin' around in your Jeep or your Benzos Or in your NISSAN sittin' on Lorenzos Back in Philly, we be out in the park A place called the Plateau is where everybody go Guys out huntin' and girls doin' likewise Honkin' 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 With a pen 'n pad I composed this rhyme To hip you and get you epuipped for the summertime
CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning
VERSE 3: It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet Hustled 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 get girls there The temperature's about eighty-eight Hop in the water plug just for ol' time sake Break to your crib, change your clothes once more 'Cause you're invited to a baebecue startin' at four Sittin' with your friends as ya'll reminisce About the days growin' up and the first person you kissed And as I think back makes me wonder how The smell from a grill can spark up a nostalgia All the kids playin' up front Little boys messin' around with the girls playin' double-dutch While the DJ's spinnin' a tune As the old folks dance at your family reunion Then six o'clock rolls around You just finish wipin' your car down It's time to cruise, so you go to the summertime-hang-out It looks like a car show Everybody come lookin' real fine Fresh from the barber shop and fly from the beauty salon Every moment frontin' and maxin' Chillin' in the car, they spent all day waxin' Leanin' 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 difinition of summer madness
CHORUS: Summer, summer, summertime I just sit back in the morning
