Roll - out – those Lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
Roll - out – those Lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer,
Dust off the the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer.
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weiners,
Then lock the house up, / Now you're set.
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis,
As cute as ever, but they never get 'em wet.Chorus
Don't have to tell a girl and fella 'bout a drive-in,
Or some romantic movie scene.
Why, from the moment that those lovers start arriving,
You'll see more kissing in the cars than on the screen.Chorus
Roll - out - those
Lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer.
Roll - out - those
Lazy-hazy-crazy days of summer,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
You'll wish that summer could always be here!
