Summertime

Drums please
Ah yeah woh ah yeah

(CHORUS:)
(Summer summer summertime) summertime summer
(And just sit back and unwind) summer summer
(Just sit back and unwind)
(Summer summer summertime) summertime summer
(And just sit back and unwind) summer summer
(Just sit back and unwind)

Here it is, a 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 outta 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 (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 it's summertime

(CHORUS)

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 happed is
The way that people respond to summer madness (oh yeah)
The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
And checking out the fellas that tell 'em who's best
Riding around in your jeep or your Benzo's
Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzo's
Back in Philly we'll be out in the park
A place called The Plateau is where everybody goes
Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
She turns around to see what you beepin' at
It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
And with the pen'n'pad I composed this rhyme
To hip you and get you equipped for the summertime

(CHORUS)

It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
Hussle 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 88
Hop in the water plug just for old times' sake
Break to ya crib, change your clothes once more
'Cause you're invited to a barbecue that's startin' at four
Sittin' with your friends as you all reminisce
About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
And as I think back it makes me wonder how
The smell from a grill can spark up nostalgia
All the kids playing out front
Little boys messing around with the girls playing double dutch
While the DJ's spinning the tune
As the old folks dance at your family reunion
Then 6 o'clock rolls around
You just finish wiping your car down
It's time to cruise so you go to
The summertime hang out, it looks like a car show
(Summer) everybody come lookin' real fine
Fresh from the barber shop and fly from the beauty salon (hey)
Every moment frontin' and maxin'
Chillin' 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

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
