Sittin on the bank of a long windin river, cane pole in my hand
waitin on a bite from mister whiskers best way I can, ohh....
(chorus)
Summer-time's got a hold on me
summer-time jus won't let me be
the rest of the year comes and goes I don't pay it much mi---ind
but let me get a bite of the 4th of July and I'm hooked on summer-time
Juices runnin down me from a half dozen peaches
pits by my side
C,oppertone gal's got my nose ta twitchin
as she struts on by, and
(bridge)
You come so quick you burn my hide I curse you to be go--one,
then as the first flake falls I hang my head and moan for-rrr
(chorus)
Summer-time's got a hold on me
summer-time jus won't let me be
the rest of the year comes and goes I don't pay it much mi---ind
but let me get a bite of the 4th of July and I'm hooked on summer-time
