Hot Summer Day
That summer rain has come again
and no telling what you’ll find,
a day of swimming in the street
leaving all your troubles behind.
Everyone get your nickers on and
dive in and have some fun,
it’s a brand new day and we’re
groovin’ in the magic of the sun!
The hottest day on July of 1956
has become one to remember,
it won’t be long until we feel
the snow in late December.
The kids know not of electronics
just simple days of pleasure,
making their own amusement
beyond time or measure.
Entertainment was so unpretentious
with modest swimming wear,
everyone has found enjoyment
without a single care.
Hang on tight to the street lamp
and in the wade in flood,
who cares if your feet get dirty
in the murky mud!
I’ve never seen such laughter
from the kids in the neighborhood,
there’s never been a day like this
to put all in a good mood.
Joking here and recreation there
with jollity and good cheer,
so, come and join us in the water,
you’re all welcome here!
Hot Summer Day
