Lyrics
Daddy’s Summertime
Summertime is fine, fresh air and sunshine
Your daddy’s drifting back in time
to summertime.
We’d ride our bikes up to hilltop park,
didn’t have to be home ‘till dark
Me and Jimmy and Unlce Mark
summertime….
We did some belly flops in the pool,
we ate some ice cream to keep cool
we’re not going to school!
It’s summertime.
Got soaked in a water-gun fight
buckets filled up and ready alright!
Everyone’s was out on their front porch that night.
Fireflies flutter and glow,
we’d catch in a jar you know
momma’d say “hey boys, you gotta let ‘em go!”
It’s summertime.
Summertime is fine, fresh air and sunshine.
Your daddy’s drifting back in time
to summertime
Tossing the ball up against the house,
momma’d say “hey, you gotta keep it down.”
Next door’s grumpy old Mr. Brown.
But it’s the ninth with two men out,
we’re up by one with a three-two count
deep in the hole, I dig it out!
It’s summertime.
Kids, it’s a fine July day
why don’t you put them phones away-
“Go outside and play!”
It’s summertime.
Summertime is fine, fresh air and sunshine.
Your daddy’s drifting back in time
to summertime.
