I’m ready for the summer, feel it in the breeze Mama Clara was right, it’s time to live with ease I can smell the grilled ‘corn, onions on the side Washed down with iced tea to the music of the tide I’m ready for the summer I’m ready for it now See the boys in their baggies, like it’s the greatest craze The girls in ‘kinis and kaftans, the epitomy of taste But when the sun goes down, they’ll jump into the sea They’ll not care what they’re wearing, it’s far too dark to see I’m ready for the summer I’m ready for it now I’m ready for the summer I’m ready for it now

I’m ready for the summer, boys I’m ready for it now The older I get, the longer the winters seem Getting up in the dark, frost biting my face All the while longing for even just a speck of light And for the warm breeze to come in off the sea In my mind, I’m at the edge of the beach Sitting, watching – with my heels tucked into a sand dune Listening to the tune of the tide I can smell the grilled corn, onions on the side Boys in their baggies – bragging ‘bout the latest craze Whilst the girls in ‘kinis and kaftans look on like it’s no big deal I’m ready for the summer, boys I can almost feel it in the breeze There is a hint of holiday in the air And I’ve been working far too hard for too long My hands - cracked and swollen from months of graft Will soon be dipped and healed in rock pools and salty shallows I’m ready for the summer, boys I’m ready for it now
