Summertime... Lick your lips
Summer time
Curl your callused fingertips around the sound of
Summertime... Lick your lips

How can we possibly employ a better mood altering incense
than this is love intense, this joyous noise?
Better than a sold-out gig with double encore and magic in the wings.

But I can make you have a double encore too!
And I can make you sing, and magic is stoking you in the....

Summertime... Lick your lips
Summertime... Lick your lips

I just got back from a trip to the mirror
unpacked my baggage and sorted my fears
into neat little piles to be put away
because I am here, I am here and I want to stay.
Please don't doubt it!

But I can make you have a double encore too
I can make you sing (uh-huh)

I am thrusting your words straight back through the skin of their sounds
I am exposing your square, scared thoughts as round.
Please don't doubt it.

Summertime
Lick your lips, Lick your lips, Lick your lips.
