[Intro]
(Summertime)
Summertime
Dit dit, dit dit summertime, oh (Summertime)
Dit dit, dit dit summertime
(Summertime)

[Verse 1]
When it's ice cream weather, get the gang back together
Roll down your windows and ride (Ride)
They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes, dancing in the streets
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Sum-sum-summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Keep the summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Sum-sum-summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(To keep the summer)

[Verse 2]
When it's ice cream weather, all the girls will look better
The boys try to give them a ride
To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Ooh, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer alive)

[Bridge]
Lay down in the sun
And watch the clouds roll by
And being with the one you love
In the summertime
Oh
Dit dit, dit dit, summertime, oh
Dit dit, dit dit, summertime, oh (Summertime)
Summertime, dit dit
Summertime

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
When it's late September, back in school we'll remember
The cure for the wintertime blues
Grab your girl, hit the road, head on down to the beach
You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes
[Chorus]
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer, sum-sum-summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Ooh, sum-sum-summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Tryin' to keep the summer alive)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)

[Outro]
Just keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
We'll just keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
Yeah, tryin' to keep the summer alive
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah, uh-huh, I know we'll keep the summer)
(Yeah, yeah...)
