Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It sure was a long, long, long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But, my heart was way down
Cold, cold winter storm
Well, my darling, where can you be?
Where can you be, baby?
Where can you be?
[Verse 2]
There were three sugar walls and two candy cane windows
But the silliest move melted all those inside
Well, everybody's on fire, but I'm a snowing in a cold blizzard
[Verse 3]
Where are you in this a hot cold summer?
Where are you in this a hot cold summer?
Where are you in this a hot cold summer?
God, God, God
[Verse 4]
Around about this time the telephone
Blew its horn across the room
Scared little Annie, clean out of her mind
Let me tell ya
Roman the candle he peeps out of his
Peekaboo hide-and-seek
And grabbed little Annie from the ceiling just in time
And the telephone keeps on screaming
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
"Hello," says my shaky voice
"Well, how are you doing?"
I started to stutter
Uh-uh, can't you tell I'm doing fine?
(Can't you tell I'm doing fine?)
It was my baby talking
She's ways down across the border
She says, I'm gonna hurry to ya, I've been a fool
And I'm tired of crying, ah, ah, yeah
[Verse 6]
I said a long, long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
(As far as my eyes)
But I could feel the heat coming on
As my baby's getting closer
I'm so glad that my baby's coming to rescue me
I said, so glad that my baby's coming to rescue me
So glad my baby's coming to rescue me
(Glad that my baby's coming to rescue)
[Verse 7]
Rescue, rescue, rescue, rescue
Rescue, rescue, rescue me, rescue
Rescue, rescue, rescue me, rescue
