Hot Fun in the Summertime

Minneapolis, July 1995

A summer picnic, tons of kids, all the couples were still together, no worries.

It is easy to burnish these memories: time smooths the rough edges.

Time diminishes the glory of those days, too.

Some of us still get together, and the kids, grown-ups now, are all still with us.

But it will never be quite the same.

End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi Hi Hi Hi there
Them summer days, those summer days
That's when I had most of my fun, back
High high high high there
Them summer days, those summer days

I "cloud nine" when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's true, ooh yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime

First of the fall and then she goes back
Bye bye bye bye there
Them summer days, those summer days

Boop-boop-ba-boop-boop when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything, it's true, ooh yeah

Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
