summer  summer  summertime
 time to sit back and unwind

 Verse One: Fresh Prince

 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 base and let the alpine blast
 pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme
 and put your car on cruise and lay back cause this is summertime

 Chorus

 Verse Two: Fresh Prince

 school is out and it's a sort of a buzz
 a 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 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
 back in Philly we be ou in the park
 a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
 guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
 honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
 she turn around to see what you beeping at
 it's like the summers a natural afradesiac
 and with a pen and pad I compose this rhyme
 to hit you and get you equipped for the summer time

 Chorus

 Verse Three: Fresh Prince

 it's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet
 hustle to the mall to get me a short set
 yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair
 cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there
 the temperature's about 88
 hop in the water plug just for old times sake
 break to ya crib change your clothes once more
 cause you're invited to a barbeque that's starting at 4
 sitting with your friends cause y'all remincise
 about the days growing up and the first person you kiss
 and as I think back makes me wonder how
 the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia
 all the kids playing out front
 little boys messin round with the girls playing double-dutch
 while the DJ's spinning a tune as the old folks dance at your family reunion
 then six o'clock rolls around
 you just finished wiping your car down
 it's time to cruise so you head to the summertime hangout
 it looks like a car show
 everybody come lookin real fine
 fresh from the barber shop or fly from the beauty salon
 every moment frontin and maxin
 chillin in the car they spent all day waxin
 leanin to the side but you can't spead through
 Two miles an hour so everybody sees you
 there's an air of love and of happiness
 and this is the Fresh Prince's new defintion of summer madness

 Chorus
