Summertime

Drums please!

Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to 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's got to be
A little bit out of control is cool to dance
But what about a 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 (Don't try to fix it)
Think of the summers of the past
Adjust the bass and let the Alpine blast
Pop in my CD, let me run around
Put your car on cruise and lay back 'cause it's summertime

Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind

School is out and there's a sort of a buzz
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 are dressin' less
They're checkin' out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
Ride around in your Jeep or your Benzos
Or in your Nissan, sittin' on Lorenzos
Back in Philly we're 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 ya with the light eyes
She turn around and say, "What you peepin' at?"
It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
And with a pen and pad, I compose this rhyme
To hit you and to get you equipped for the summertime

Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind

It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
Hustle to the bar to get me a short set
Yeah, I got on these 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 'til you grab, change your clothes once more
'Cause you're invited to a barbecue to start at four
Sittin' with your friends as y'all 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 could spark off nostalgia
All the kids playin' out front
Little boys messin' 'round with the girls playin' double dutch
While the DJ's spinnin' a tune
There's the old folks dancin' at your family reunion
Then six o'clock rolls around
You just finished wipin' your car down
It's time to cruise, so you go to
The summertime hangout that looks like a car show
Everybody come lookin' real fine
Fresh from the barber shop or blonde from the beauty salon
Every woman frontin' and maxin'
Chillin' in the garage, been 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 definition of summer, man

Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
Summertime
Summertime, summertime
Time to sit back and unwind
