  • This is how I pray for the summertime
    This is how I pray for the summer
    Got my my glass of shandy
    Now I feel fine
    This is how I pray in the summer

    If the more you pray
    The more you stay
    The less it's gettin' you down

    If the more you pray
    The more you stay
    The less it's gettin' you down

    Autumn time leaves fallin' all around
    Wintertime follows soon
    Little bunnies freezin' in the snow
    Winter's such an ugly brute

    Mid city blues gettin' you down
    Take a break from the strain
    Get out your card
    And drink a glass of wine
    Admit it you feel great
    It's the summertime

    This is how I feel in the summertime
    This is how I feel in the summer
    Got my glass of shandy
    Now I feel fine
    This is how I play, yeah

    This is how I feel in the summertime
    This is how I feel in the summer
    Got my glass of shandy
    And I feel fine
    This is how I play, yeah

    And if your love has met it's sad refrain
    Believe me you will love again
    All the best laid plans of mice and men go wrong
    It's written in this song, oh

    This is how we feel in the summertime
    This is how we feel in the summer
    What's mine is yours
    What's yours is mine
    This is how I play, yeah

    This is how we feel in the summertime
    This is how we feel in the summer
    Take it back to the summer 89
    This is how I play, yeah oh

    This is how we feel in the summer, oh

    The Mondays the Roses
    Blocking all your noses
    Wearing baggy clothes
    In our Buffalo poses
    Bank tellers stroppy little fellas
    Loved up in the clubs
    Of football thugs
    No malice
    A dicky dread locks
    Boozin' off your socks
    Big fish little fish
    Card board box
    Gimme french kiss
    I?ll love you from the rain
    I dream of Santa Ana on the road to Mandalay
    In the summer time
    Where the weather is hot
    In the summer time
    Where the weather is hot
    On my mind
    On my mind
    In the summer time
    Where the weather is hot
    In the summer time
    I got shivers
    Down my spine Writer/s: Antony Genn, Robert Williams
