(GUITAR INTRO)
well, listen everybody to what I`m goin` to say
I don`t think that I can beat this heat another day
I went down to the river - about ninety-eight degrees
I spent all day and half the night in water to my knees
oh those scorchin` days of summer are here
when sun shines more likely than not
gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
because ooh boys, it`s hot
oh, Jerry
(MANDOLIN SOLO)
well I cut off all my Levis, I had to make some shorts
left me with a bunch of legs of odd and varied sorts
I`m standin` by my garden I wish like hell it `d rain
I know that all the seeds I planted gotta feel the same
oh those scorchin` days of summer are here
when sun shines more likely than not
gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
because ooh boys, it`s hot
(PIANO SOLO)
well, listen everybody to what I`ve gotta say
I don`t think that I can beat this heat for another day
I`ve got dogs and cats and chickens all sleepin` in the shade
a dreamin` how those huskies in Alaska got it made
oh those scorchin` days of summer are here
when sun shines more likely than not
gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
because ooh boys, it`s hot
ahhh, one more
(GUITAR SOLO)
oh those scorchin` days of summer are here
when sun shines more likely than not
gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
because ooh boys
I said ooh boys
I said ooh boys
it`s hot
