Summer time

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Spot spraying for the bindie's,
Before the day gets too windy,
Grandma's cooking up some jam,
Grandpa's pinched a piece of ham,
We'll gather all of the eggs, 
Cool them down in the fridge, 
Kids picking figs and apricots,
Dad harvesting the wheat crop,


[Chorus]
OHH, That's just our way of life, 
Works all done nothing else to do,
Go for a swim in the backyard pool, 
YEAH, its summer time, 
It's summer time, 

[Verse 2]
Christmas is done it's time for a rest,
Brother turns the air conditioner on,
Sits down to watch the boxing day test,
Australia's just got another run,
Uncle yells out hey what's the score, 
As he comes through the screen door, 
Barbecue full of chops and snags,
And sister cuts us all a piece of pav,


[Chorus]

[Bridge]
It's time to celebrate the new year, 
A fridge full of food and cold beer, 
We all gather around the table, 
Passing grandma's potato salad,
Watching the fireworks display, 
Back to work till Australia day, 
It's going to be forty five degrees, 
T.v. shows it's packed at the beach,

[Chorus]

[Outro]
The afternoon out at the lake,
Skiing with a bunch of mates,
Getting home just before dusk,
Washing down the work hi lux,

YEAH it's summer time,
It's summer time,
It's summer time.
[Fade to end]
