This is how I pray for the summer time
this is how I pray for the summer
got my glass of shandy
now I feel fine

this is how I pray in the summer
if the more you pray
the more you’ll stay
the less it’s getting you down

if the more you pray…
autumn time leaves falling all around
wintertime follows suit
little bunnies freezin in the snow

winter’s such an ugly brute
mid city blues getting you down
take a break from the strain
get out your card

and drink a glass of wine
admit it you feel great
it’s the summertime
this is how it feels in the summertime…

this is how I play, yeah
this is how I feel in the summertime…
and if your love has met its sad refrain
believe me you will love again

all the best laid plans of mice and men go wrong
it’s written in this song, oh
this is how we feel in the summertime
this is how we feel in the summer
what’s mine is yours

what’s yours is mine
this is how I play, yeah
this is how we feel in the summertime
this is how we feel in the summer

take it back to the summer ‘89
this is how I play, yeah, oh
this is how we feel in the summer, oh
the Mondays, the roses

poking all your noses
wearing baggy clothes
in our buffalo poses
bank tellers dropping little fellas

loved up in the clubs
of football folks
no manners

a dicky dread locks
and boozin off your socks
big fish little fish

card board box
gimme french kiss
I’ll love you from the rain
I dream of Santa Ana on the road to Mandalay

in the summertime
where the weather is hot
in the summertime

where the weather is hot
on my mind
on my mind
in the summertime

where the weather is hot
in the summertime
I got shivers
down my spine
