Lyrics
I’ll bring the chips and the dips and root beerEven though dark purple rain clouds are nearWhen you come aroundYou bring the Summer
I’ll lay the basket and blanket out neatEven though weathermen say there’ll be sleetWhen you come aroundYou bring the Summer
Summer poorer sad old snowmanFreezing in his roomSummer from your clear blue skiesWill melt away the winters gloom
I’ll bring the sun cream and beach volleyballEven though there is no sand here at allWhen you come aroundYou bring the Summer
When you come aroundYou bring the summer
Summer poorer sad old Jack FrostTrying to warm his toesSummer from your golden smileWill paint the snow drops pinky rose
The birds and the bees will fly around meEven though we’re deep in JanuaryWhen you come aroundYou bring the Summer
I know with one boundYou bring the SummerWhen you come around
Summer babyYou bring the SummerYou bring the Summer around
Summer babyYou bring the SummerYou bring the Summer around
Summer babyYou bring the SummerYou bring the Summer around (baby)
Summer babyYou bring the SummerYou bring the Summer around
Summer babyYou bring the SummerYou bring the Summer around
