Dave Gates - Summertime Lyrics

Best thing about summer
Is we can sit outside, ain't no need for a drummer
When I pick up my guitar and play
Sing along with Bob Marley like everything will be ok
Layin' out in the sun
My pasty ass can't tan but maybe you can, that's fun
See I was born white as a ghost
But I can sing and play guitar a little better than most
And I can put all of the words inside my head in a song
Now here comes the chorus, ya'll sing along
Oh yes it's summer, it's summertime
This melody has got me feeling fine
There's not a single cloud up in the sky
Oh yes it's summer, it's summertime
Kick your shoes off on the beach
And walk around barefoot and feel the sand on your feet
Badfish is on repeat
And if you grab ahold of me tell me that I'll never be free
Soon as the sun goes down
You can hear the island sound comin out from the underground
Or we can stare up at the stars and hear me
Put my words in these 16 bars
See I wanna make a livin off of givin people
All the songs they wanna hear to have themselves a good year
Like a blimp I'm blowin up
How bout a toast cause it's summer, everybody get your drinks up
Yes it's summer, it's summertime
This melody has got me feeling fine
There's not a single cloud up in the sky
Yes it's summer, it's summertime
Best thing about summer, listen to the thunder
Watch that lightning dancing, across the sky
Yes it's summer, just listen to the thunder
And watch that lightning dancing, across the sky
Oh yes it's summer, it's summertime
This melody has got me feeling fine
There's not a single cloud up in my sky
Yes it's summer, it's summertime
