DRUMS PLEASE! Just a little something to break the monotony Of all that hardcore dance that has gotten to be a little bit out of control It's cool to dance, but what about a groove that soothes and moves romance? Give me a soft, subtle mix And if it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it And think of the summers of the past Adjust the bass and let the alpine blast Pop in my CD and let me run a rhyme And put your car on cruise And lay back, cause it's summertime Summertime, summertime Summertime Don't you sit back and don't walk Don't you sit back and don't walk Summertime, summertime Don't you sit back and don't walk Summertime, summertime Don't you sit back and don't walk School is out and it's a sort of a buzz But back then I didn't really know what it was But now I see what happened is The way that people respond to summer madness The weather is hot and girls are dressing less And checking out the fellas to tell them who's best Riding around in your Jeep or your Benzos Or in your Nissan sitting on Lorenzos Back in Philly we'd be out in the park A place called the Plateau is where everybody go Guys out hunting and girls doing likewise Honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes She'd turn around and see what you're beaving at It's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac And with a pen and pad I can pose this rhyme To hip you and to get you equipped for the summertime Summertime, summertime Don't you sit back and don't walk Don't you sit back and don't walk Summertime, summertime Don't you sit back and don't walk Don't you sit back and don't walk It's late in the day and I ain't been on the court yet Hustle to the mall to get me a short set Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a new pair Cause basketball courts in the summer got girls there The temperature's about 88 Hop in the water plug just for old time's sake Break to your crib, change your clothes once more Cause you're invited to a barbecue to start and then four Sitting with your friends as y'all reminisce About the days growing up and the first person you kissed And as I think back makes me wonder how The smell from a grill can spark off nostalgia All the kids playing out front Little boys messing around with the girls playing double dutch While the DJ's spinning a tune As the old folks dance at your family reunion Then six o'clock rolls around You just finished wiping your car down It's time to cruise so you go to the summertime hangout It looks like a car show Everybody come looking real fine Fresh from the barbershop of life in the beauty salon Every moment frontin' and maxin' Chillin' in the car they spent all day waxin' Leanin' to the side but you can't speed through Two miles an hour so everybody sees you There's an air of love and of happiness And this is the Fresh Prince's new definition of summer madness Summer, summer, summertime Summertime Time to sit back and rewind Summer, summer, summertime Time to sit back and rewind Summer, summer, summertime Time to sit back and rewind Summer, summer, summertime Time to sit back and rewind
