Do, a deer, a female deer,
Re, a drop of golden sun…
Silver wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and on
While the only love
I’ve ever known is gone
Take a ring and add a ring and then another ring.
And then you’ve got three rings, Ballantine.
And now it’s premium, it’s a very special type of beer.
I wasn’t born for diggin’ deep holes
I’m not made for pavin’ long roads
I ain’t cut out to climb high line poles,
But I’m pretty good at drinkin’ beer
Ein zwei drei vier
Lift your stein and drink your beer
Ein zwei drei vier
Lift your stein and drink your beer
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To eyes that are bright as stars when they’re shining on me!
Drink! Drink! Drink!
To lips that are red and sweet as the fruit on the tree!
Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Oh, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (Awwwwww!)
All day I’ve faced a barren waste
Without the taste of water, cool water
Old Dan and I with throats burned dry
And souls that cry for water
Cool, clear water
Gliding through the seaweed
what strange things I see below
Cars are waiting
windshields wiping
Nowhere left to go!
Oh…
The ice caps are melting
Oh, ho, ho ho
All the world is drowning
Ho, ho ho, ho ho
The ice caps are melting
the tide is rushing in
All the world is drowning
to wash away the sin
The seagull flies
in search of land
The children hide
beneath the sand
As golden toys
come floating down
I play the fish
I swim around
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath and I kicked my feet
And I moved my arms around
I moved my arms around
She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights
Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
But at night it’s a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it’ll be alright
Summertime,
And the livin’ is eady.
The fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high…
In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ comes
Watchin’ the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here’s what they had to say
“We’re calling everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more”
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man’s dreams
The islands and bays are for sportsmen
And farther below, Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered
And we were trying different things,
We were smokin’ funny things,
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song,
Sippin’ whiskey out the bottle,
Singing “Sweethome Alabama” all summer long…
Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the south-land
I miss ‘ole’ 'bamy once again and I think it’s a sin
Sometimes I think it’s a shame
When I get feeling better when I’m feeling no pain
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it’s a sin
When I feel like I’m winning when I’m losing again
I’m dirty, mean, and mighty unclean
I’m a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand?
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
Lock up your back door
And run for your life
The man is back in town
Don’t you mess around
