[Verse 1]
Throw my sunglasses on and sell my long pants
A-all these people all around me, you'd be crazy not to dance
Bury your toes in the sand while the waves keep on crashing
And the parasol keeps the sun away, oh, it keeps the sun away
All this repetition really flares with my condition
To a point of no return, it's an internal sunburn, sunburn

[Chorus]
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
(Might as well just stay in bed today)
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
(My head begins to pound if ever I start to...)

[Verse 2]
Get up and go outside, this sickness has slain my pride
Doctor said it wouldn't last, but doctor must've lied
Gotta do something new today, I can't live my life this way
Ill-bide unforgiving soon, I need medication, medication

[Chorus]
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
(Might as well just stay in bed today)
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
(My head begins to pound if ever I start...)
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
(Might as well just stay in bed today)
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
(My head begins to pound if ever I start to...)
[Bridge]
Don't thank me hourly, it's just that I don't care to see
Another flashing firefly, a humid night, and starry sky
Wake up, what time is it? Wake up, what day is it?
Wake up, what place is this? Wake up, who paid for this?
Wake up, what time is it? Wake up, what day is it?
Wake up, what place is this? Wake up, who paid for this?

[Chorus]
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
(Might as well just stay in bed today)
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
(My head begins to pound if ever I start...)
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
(Might as well just stay in bed today)
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
(My head begins to pound if ever I start...)

[Outro]
I've got the summer sickness and it's giving me away
The summer sickness is tearing me apart
