Well are you comin' or are you stayin 
You saw it first and I won't complain 
Hurry up before I change 
It's summertime 

Well I'm so happy that I could flip 
Oh how I'd love to take a trip 
I'm sorry teacher but zip your lip 
Because it's summertime 

(Chorus) 

Well we'll go swimmin' every day 
No time to work just time to play 
If your folks complain just say, 
"It's summertime" 

And every night we'll have a dance 
Cause what's a vacation without romance 
Oh man this jive gets me in a trance 
Because it's summertime 

Chorus 
It's summertime 

It's summertime summertime sum sum summertime 
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime 
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime 
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime 
Summertime
