Summertime

[00:00.02] Drums please!
[00:02.47] 
[00:15.32] Summer, summer, summertime
[00:19.74] (Summertime)
[00:20.68] Time to sit back and unwind
[00:23.34] Summertime
[00:24.68] Here it is, the groove slightly transformed
[00:27.64] Just a bit of a break from the norm
[00:29.94] Just a little somethin' to break the monotony
[00:32.49] Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be
[00:35.09] A little bit out of control, it's cool to dance
[00:37.55] But what about the groove that soothes that moves romance
[00:40.64] Give me a soft subtle mix
[00:42.41] And if ain't broke, then don't try to fix it (don't try to fix it)
[00:45.63] And think of the summers of the past
[00:47.56] Adjust the base and let the alpine blast
[00:50.15] Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
[00:52.65] And put your car on cruise
[00:54.20] And lay back 'cause this is summertime (summertime)
[00:55.76] Summer, summer, summertime
[00:58.10] (Ooh, summertime)
[01:00.99] Time to sit back and unwind
[01:03.66] (Time to sit back and unwind)
[01:05.88] Summer, summer, summertime
[01:08.97] (Summertime)
[01:10.92] Time to sit back and unwind
[01:13.42] (Time to sit back and unwind)
[01:15.97] Summer, summer, summertime
[01:19.26] (Summertime)
[01:21.04] Time to sit back and unwind
[01:23.46] (Time to sit back and unwind)
[01:25.31] School is out, and it's a sort of a buzz
[01:28.26] But back then I didn't really know what it was
[01:31.18] But now I see what have of this
[01:32.96] The way that people respond to summer madness
[01:36.15] The weather is hot and girls are dressing less
[01:38.03] And checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
[01:40.64] Ridin' around in your jeep or your Benzos
[01:43.40] Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos
[01:45.78] Back in Philly, we be out in the park
[01:48.04] A place called "The Plateau" is where everybody go
[01:50.69] Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
[01:53.13] Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
[01:56.28] She turn around to see what you beeping at
[01:58.51] It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac
[02:00.66] And with a pen and pad I composed this rhyme
[02:03.15] To hit you and get you equipped for the summertime
[02:06.46] Summer, summer, summertime
[02:09.62] (Summertime)
[02:11.65] Time to sit back and unwind
[02:14.03] (Time to sit back and unwind)
[02:16.32] Summer, summer, summertime
[02:19.54] (Summertime)
[02:21.40] Time to sit back and unwind
[02:24.11] (Time to sit back and unwind)
[02:25.91] It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
[02:28.43] Hustle to the mall to get me a short set
[02:31.13] Yeah, I gotta on sneaks but I need a new pair
[02:33.59] 'Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
[02:36.58] The temperature's about 88
[02:38.57] Hop in the water plug just for old times sake
[02:41.15] Break to ya crib, change your clothes once more
[02:43.20] 'Cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at four
[02:46.23] Sitting with your friends as y'all reminisce
[02:48.54] About the days growing up and the first person you kissed
[02:51.16] And as I think back, makes me wonder how
[02:53.69] The smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
[02:57.08] All the kids playing out front
[02:58.50] Little boys messin' round with the girls playing double-dutch
[03:01.79] While the DJ's spinning a tune
[03:03.66] As the old folks dance at your family reunion
[03:06.64] Then six o'clock rolls around
[03:09.59] You just finished wiping your car down
[03:12.09] It's time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout
[03:14.93] It looks like a car show
[03:17.10] Everybody come lookin' real fine
[03:18.96] Fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
[03:22.19] Every moment frontin' and maxin'
[03:24.17] Chillin' in the car, they spent all day waxin'
[03:26.69] Leanin' to the side but you can't speed through
[03:29.04] Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
[03:32.00] There's an air of love and of happiness
[03:34.11] And this is the Fresh Prince's new definition of summer madness
[03:37.29] Summer, summer, summertime
[03:40.31] (Summertime)
[03:42.32] Time to sit back and unwind
[03:45.50] (And unwind)
[03:47.23] Summer, summer, summertime
[03:49.75] (Summertime)
[03:52.40] Time to sit back and unwind
[03:54.32] (Sit back and unwind)
[03:57.52] Summer, summer, summertime
[04:00.65] (Don't you know)
[04:02.52] Time to sit back and unwind
[04:05.86] (Yeah, it's alright)
[04:07.40] Summer, summer, summertime
[04:10.19] (Summertime)
[04:12.65] Time to sit back and unwind
[04:14.28] (Sit back and unwind...)
[04:17.30]
