Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fell into a sea of grass
And disappeared among the shady blades
Children all ran over me
Screaming, "Tag, you are the one"
[Verse 2]
He trips her as her sandals fail
She says, "Stop, I'm a girl
Whose fingernails are made
Of a mother's pearl"
[PreChorus]
Yellow buttercup, helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after the crazy bee
Mad about somebody, oh no
[Chorus]
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper sunlight
She loves me, I mean it's serious
As serious can be
[Verse 3]
Well, she sings a song
And I listen to what it says
But if you want a friend
Feed any animal
[PreChorus]
There's so much space
I could cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime
And it rolled
[Chorus]
Summer, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Summer, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Oh, summer
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Summertime, summertime)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Summertime, summertime)
Summertime, summertime, summertime
Summer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Summertime rolls
[Outro]
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no clothes, you know
Her nose is painted pepper-sunlight
Shoot, I love her, I mean it's oh-so serious
As serious can be
