Lyrics

Drums please!

summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind

Here it is the groove slightly transformed
just a bit of a break from the norm
just a little somethin' to break the monotony
of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
a little bit out of control it's cool to dance
but what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
give me a soft subtle mix
and if ain't broke then 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 a cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind
summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind

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 have of this
the way that people respond to summer madness
the weather is hot and the girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan stting on lorenzos

summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind
summer summer summertime
time to sit back and unwind
