Down in the street There's a gunshot warnin' Here comes the blue parade Ready to save the day Down in the street Man, the whole block's burning Outraged for rent control I ride the gang patrol Oh, it's just another sign that summer's coming City wars, flash floods and tornadoes Festivals for rock ?n? roll season Beach talk, baseball and a handy household hymns Yes, it's true in the U.S. of A There?s lots of room at the top Oh, but you can't sit down Oh no, you can't sit down And don't you know that boudoir Looks just like a ball and chain Oh no, you can't sit down Oh no, you can't sit down All through the night You hear gunshot warnings This time it wasn't you You never paid your dues All through the night You hear the city moaning Must be a tomcat prowling Or maybe your stomach growling It's just another sign that summer's coming City wars, flash floods and tornadoes Festivals for rock ?n? roll season Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns Summertime, summertime Summertime, summertime Summertime, summertime Summertime, summertime
