Verse 1

Here it

Am

is a groove slightly

trans

formed

Bm

Just a

bit of a break

E

from the norm

Am

Just a little somethin'

to break the monotony

Of

Bm

all that hardcore

dance

E

that has

gotten to be A

Am

little bit out of

control, it's cool

to dance But

Bm

what about the groove

that soothes

E

that moves

romance

Am

Give me a soft

subtle mix

And

Bm

if ain't

broke then don't

E

try to fix

it

Am

And

think of the summers

of the past

Ad

Bm

just the bass

and let the

E

Alpine

Pop in my CD

put your car

on cruise

E

and lay back

School is out and

it's a sort of

a buzz

But back

then I didn't

E

really know what it

was

Am

But

now I see what

have of this

The

Bm

way that people re

spond

E

to summer

madness

Am

The

weather is hot

and girls are dressin'

less And

Bm

checkin' out the fellas

to tell

E

'em who's

best

Am

Ridin' around in your

Jeep or your Benzos

Bm

Or in your

Nissan sittin'

E

on Lorenzos

Am

Back in Philly we

be out in the

park

A

Bm

place called the Plateau

is

E

where everybody go

Am

Guys out huntin'

and girls

doin' likewise

Bm

Honkin' at the honey

in front

E

of you with the

light eyes

Am

She

turn around to see

what you beepin' at

Bm

It's like the

ural aphrodisiac

And

with a pen and

pad I compose

this rhyme

To

Bm

hit you and

get you equipped

E

for the summer

Verse 3

Am

late in the day

and I ain't

been on the court

yet

Bm

Hustle to the mall

to

E

get me a short

set

Am

Yeah, I got on

sneaks but

I need a new

pair 'Cause

Bm

basketball courts

in the summer

E

got girls

there

Am

The

temperature's about eighty-eight

Bm

Hop in the water

plug

E

just for old times

sake

Am

Break to ya crib

change your clothes once

more

'Cause you're in

Bm

vited to a barbecue

that's

E

startin' at four

Am

Sittin' with your friends

as y'all reminisce

About the

Bm

days growin' up

and the first

E

person you kissed

And

Am

as I think back

makes me wonder

how The

Bm

smell from a grill

could spark

E

up nostalgia

Am

All the kids playin'

out front

Little

Bm

boys messin' 'round

with the girls

E

playing

double-dutch

Am

While the

DJ's spinnin' a tune

as the

Bm

old folks dance

at your

E

family reunion

Am

Then

six o'clock rolls around

Bm

You

just finished

E

wipin' your car

down

Am

It's

time to cruise

so you go

to the

Bm

summertime hangout

It looks

E

like a

car show

Am

Everybody come lookin' real

fine

Bm

Fresh from the barber

shop or

E

fly from the beauty

salon

Am

Every moment frontin' and

maxin'

Bm

Chillin' in the car

they spent all

E

day waxin'

Am

Leanin' to the side

but you can't

speed through

Bm

Two miles an hour,

so

E

everybody sees you

Am

There's an

air of love and

of happiness

And

Bm

this is the Fresh

Prince's

E

new definition of summer
