Summer Chores

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

It's summer vacation, I want to play
But chores keep piling, they won't go away
Gotta cut the lawn, paint the house too
Fix the car, there's so much to do

Wanted to party, wanted to roam
But I'm stuck here working at home
When the break ends, I'll need a rest
Back to work, but I'm not at my best

Thought I'd hit the beach, catch some rays
Instead, I'm stuck here, counting days
Mowing the lawn, the sun's beating down
Fixing the car, can't leave this town

Wanted to party, wanted to roam
But I'm stuck here working at home
When the break ends, I'll need a rest
Back to work, but I'm not at my best

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Summer nights I dreamed so bright
Of dancing, laughing, feeling right
But here I am, hands full of grime
Counting the hours, losing time

Wanted to party, wanted to roam
But I'm stuck here working at home
When the break ends, I'll need a rest
Back to work, but I'm not at my best

Painting the fence, it never ends
Repairing the deck, I call my friends
They come to help, but it's still a grind
Summer vacation, you're so unkind

Wanted to party, wanted to roam
But I'm stuck here working at home
When the break ends, I'll need a rest
Back to work, but I'm not at my best

Next year I'll plan a getaway
Won't let the chores get in my way
For now, I'll sigh and face the truth
Summer's work has stolen my youth

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Wanted to party, wanted to roam
Wanted to roam, wanted to roam
But I'm not at my best
