In the Summertime
I can feel it and I barely breathe
In the Summertime
Nothing matters we just keep on rolling, rolling
It's the Summertime
Picnic with you and me
It's the Summertime
This is how Summertime should be
[Verse 1 - Chuck]
Two go in at once
Fresh out the shower and her towel rolling up
I'm in the kitchen cooking lunch business done
Chopping onions turn sauces whipping up
Bar-B-Q'ing barracudas at resorts in Bermuda
She trying on that new bathing suit that she bought at the mall in the
Mirror like, (for your eyes only)
Ay flash me real quick baby don't front on me
Do a little dance while I iron my shorts I'm getting ready and we ready to
Work, work, work it, work
Now iron my shirt she want to hit the waves so we hop in that boat
[Hook]
[Verse 2 - Mikey]
Lets get wild
Reconcile with your freaky side
You said it's been a while and your thinking bout bringing it out
I peaked your style by them other cheeks peaking out that bikini bottom
Seen em and then I got 'em
You with your best friend and you call her your wifey
And y'all both gorgeous rocking the saks 5th short set
And y'all do everything together B-F-F
We just met now it's us three
Must be fate
And I got a lot on my plate
But I can make some time for you if you wanna escape
It's OK by the poolside is where we should lay
You gotta lose your inhibition and get carried away
[Hook]
