(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
