Every year, pop music has a "feel good hit" song to celebrate the season. Songs like Weezer's "Feels Like Summer", DNCE's "Cake By The Ocean", or even DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Summertime" help express the sentiment that summer is a fun-filled time of year, while also being a catchy earworm. Well, I wanted to contribute my own sonically pleasing ditty to the masses for summer.
Except I HATE summertime.
lyrics
1)
Summertime and the livin’s easy
But the air is not-so breezy
Hate to tell you but I’m not the one
Who ever thought that summertime could be fun
‘Cause the air’s so hot and thick
And to me all my clothes just stick
All the kids are out of school
And the little ones just pee’d in the wave pool
(pre-Chorus)
Inside my car’s like an oven
Can’t grip the wheel without some gloves and
I think 3 months is too long
So I went and I wrote this song!
(Chorus)
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all you summer time fans
That’s not exactly what I am
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all the summer time fans
Of which I don’t understand
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
2)
I can’t stand the summer months
Gotta hide from all the bugs
They chase me when I mow the lawn
And I just hate the cicada phenomenon
I spend all day drenched in sweat
They haven’t made a beach that’s fun yet
I’m no good at the summer sports
And I blind everyone when I wear shorts
(pre-chorus)
Theme parks, are you kidding me?
They got lines like the DMV!
(Chorus)
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all you summer time fans
That’s not exactly what I am
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all the summer time fans
Of which I don’t understand
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
(Bridge)
Mosquitoes, and beetles,
And chlorine up my nose
The bees and fleas,
Oh help me please
I’m so hot and tired
Deodorant’s expired
Got pit stains and neck sweat
and that’s not the worst yet
At night you’ve got bats
and swamp ass, AND SWAMP ASS!
(dude, summer’s almost over!)
(Chorus)
This is a Summer Time Jam
I hate the summer time, man
Every crack is filled with sand!
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
This is a Summer Time Jam
Can’t stand these summer time plans
Rather have AC and a fan!
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all you summer time fans
That’s not exactly what I am
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
This is a Summer Time Jam
For all the summer time fans
Of which I don’t understand
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh!
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
