Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm hangin' round the airport
I'm waitin' for the plane
Hmm, something sweet and sticky
Hmm, runnin' down my hand
[Verse 2]
Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)
[Verse 3]
Hmm, a kinky little sister
Hmm, a-wearin' rubber gloves
A sexual health emergency
A copulation fantasy
You and me, ecstasy
Hate to be reality
[Verse 4]
Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Takin' off my clothes
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)
[Verse 5]
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
[Verse 6]
Ask, and it shall be given
Pay, and ye shall receive
Cigarettes and pantyhose
Hit me in my funnybone
Heinie-hole, a Tootsie Roll
The jelly roll, it's time to go
[Verse 7]
Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)
I'm blowin' up my hands
Buddy, buddy, what's wrong with you?
(It's summertime, boy)
I'm blowin' up my mind
Lemme, lemme see what I can do
(It's summertime, love)
[Verse 8]
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
[Verse 9]
Sugar bee
Sugar bee
Summertime, ooh
Summertime, ooh
Sugar bee, ooh
Sugar bee, ooh
Summertime, summertime, ooh
Summertime, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
Sugar bee, sugar bee, ooh
