Start my Saturday the right way
Playing wiffle ball at Steve's place
League champs since the third week of May (deal with that)
While we're working out the lawn chair strike zone
Go on and turn off your cell phone
Whoever needs to call you can wait (yeah)

Oh-oh thank God for the summertime (yeah-eah)
Oh-oh no cares and I'm doin' fine
No cares and I'm doin' fine
Thank God for the summertime

Tomorrow mornin' we could hit the river
Sittin' in the tubes and simmer
Work hard on sunburn all day (mmmmm)
Or if we stay up late we'll sleep in
'Cause everyday is like the weekend
Thank God for the months after May (yeah, yeah)

Oh-oh thank God for the summertime (yeah-eah)
Oh-oh no cares and I'm doin' fine
No cares and I'm doin' fine
Thank God for the summertime

Everyday feels just like the weekend
Sam Cooke plays through the speakers (oh-oh)
(Mmmmm ah) Thank God for the summertime
Thank God for the-
Thank God for the summertime

Oh-oh thank God for the summertime (did I mention we were league champs baby)
Oh-oh no cares and I'm doin' fine (thank God for the summertime)
Thank God for the summertime
