Dancing shadows, rushing streams
Bring on, bring on, my summer dreams
Muddy green seas only sometimes blue
A red sky sunset for me and you.

Harvested cornfields, shady trees
Horse with flies and foxes with fleas
A giggle of children running nigh bare
Hazards abound but they don't care.

Summer thoughts and summer highs
Pull us through winter's pallid skies
We who dwell in this hemisphere
Need the summer every year.
