Dog Days of Summer
You're nearly back to school
Watching that heat off the concrete rise
I'll trade ya hot for cool
Get your last licks while the town just dies
Don't ya wake me, up-and-comers
From my backyard garden slumber
When them dog days of summer come around
Don't want your lemonade
Life gave me lemons, I made some art
Just hanging in the shade
You can fire-walk on the pavement, bless your heart
I'm soaking in this world of wonder
From the parasol I'm under
When them dog days of summer come around
And round and round again
All good things must meet their end
Around and round and round again
Seasons change, so long fair-weather friend
So don't ya wake me, up-and-comers
From my backyard garden slumber
When them dog days of summer come around
And round and round again
When them dog days of summer come around
Watching that heat off the concrete rise
I'll trade ya hot for cool
Get your last licks while the town just dies
Don't ya wake me, up-and-comers
From my backyard garden slumber
When them dog days of summer come around
Don't want your lemonade
Life gave me lemons, I made some art
Just hanging in the shade
You can fire-walk on the pavement, bless your heart
I'm soaking in this world of wonder
From the parasol I'm under
When them dog days of summer come around
And round and round again
All good things must meet their end
Around and round and round again
Seasons change, so long fair-weather friend
So don't ya wake me, up-and-comers
From my backyard garden slumber
When them dog days of summer come around
And round and round again
When them dog days of summer come around
