6. Summertime Rolls (6:18)
[Verse 1]
Fell into a sea of grass
And disappeared among the shady blades
The children all ran over me
Screaming, "Tag, you are the one"

[Verse 2]
He trips her as her sandals fail; she says, "Stop, I'm a girl
Whose fingernails are made of a mother's pearl"
Yellow buttercup helicopters, orange buttercat chasing after
The crazy bee mad about somebody, oh no

[Chorus]
But me and my girlfriend a-don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper sunlight
She loves me, I mean, it's serious
As serious can be

[Verse 3]
Well, she sings a song and I listen to what it says
Well, if you want a friend, feed any animal
There was so much space I cut me a piece
With some fine wine, it brought peace to my mind
In the summertime, and it rolled

[Bridge]
Summer, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Summer, ah-ah-ah
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls
Oh, summer! Yeah, yeah, yeah! (Summer, summer, summertime)
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls (Summer, summer, summer, summer, summertime)
Summer! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah!
Oh, oh, oh, summertime rolls (Summertime)

[Interlude]
(Summer, summer, summertime)

[Chorus]
(Me and my girlfriend)
Me and my girlfriend don't wear no clothes, you know
Her nose is a pepper sunlight
I love her, I mean, it's so, so serious
As serious can be
