Found on Holiday.

All you brothers and sisters

Lookin' for a better way

Why don't you all go to the country

Hitch a ride from the city

Get away for the day

The summertime is gonna take you

People playing music won't forsake you

But when it's hot

You gotta go all the way

All you dancers and twisters

Lookin' for a place to play

Why don't you all go to the country

People in the city

Get away for the day

I don't know how I'm gonna do it

But someone else will push me to it

But when it's hot

You gotta go all the way

The summertime is gonna take you

People playing music won't forsake you

I don't know how I'm gonna do it

But someone else will push me to it
