Apama on the beat
Sun hot fi road, gal dem ah wine so low
Bass ah boom boom boom, speaker dem ah go
Summertime, nah time fi slow
Jump up pon di beat, mek di whole place know
Walk out ah mi yard, sun deh pon mi skin
Beach sand under foot, salt water in
DJ spin di wheel, tune deh a bubble
Gal dem body language ah talk double-double
From Montego Bay to Kingston town we move
No umbrella needed, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
Bashment nuh done, party nuh done
Till di moon come out, we nah done
Summertime, summertime, gal wine pon mi waistline
Gyal ya sweet like pineapple wine
If di beat drop, yuh body nah lie
Mek we dance till di sun say goodbye
Summertime, summertime, skin ah glow like sunshine
Money nuh long but vibes dem divine
One life, so we live it nuh mine
Summertime, summertime, fi di rest ah time
Pull up pon di street, car dem a boom box
Bass ah mash up di place like earthquake
Gyal inna short skirt, flag up pon she waist
Tell she move to di left, now she move to di right
Sound man big up, selector nuh slack
When di tune come in, everybody hands back
Mi nah ask fi permission, mi nah beg fi dance
Summertime magic, give it one more chance
Sun hot fi road, gal dem ah wine so low
Bass ah boom boom boom, speaker dem ah go go
Summertime, nah time fi slow
Jump up pon di beat, mek di whole place know
Night time fall but di heat nah done
Street light shine, everybody ah one
From foreign come back just fi feel di vibe
Island blood hot, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh
Mi tell di gal, "gal yuh pretty like flower"
She tell mi, "bwoy, dance wid mi one more hour"
So we wine, we rock, we bubble, we go
Till di DJ say last tune, then we go slow
Summertime, summertime, gal wine pon mi waistline
Riddim ah sweet like pineapple wine
If di hardcore drop, yuh body nah lie
Mek we dance till di sun say goodbye
Summertime, summertime, skin ah glow like sunshine
Money nuh long but vibes dem divine
One life, so we live it nuh mine
Summertime, summertime...
