lyrics

Well it's a hot summer day
And I think I skipped a beat
I'm not thinking straight
Because of the heat
If I evaporate
It would be bittersweet
Chocolate melting on hot concrete
There's gotta be a way for me to cheat
Everything I say is incomplete

On this hot summer day

Back in the cold I couldn't believe
The heat would get old enough to relieve
Inside the household that I never leave
If you had told me on Christmas Eve
In my overcoat and under my sleeves
I'd call a misquote, no chance of misery

On this hot summer day

But here I stand covered in sweat
Hopelessly fanned and wringing wet
A desperate man never forgets
To meet the demand, losing a bet
We shoulda planned but don't get upset
Get in command of your best etiquette

On this hot summer day

I have to believe the heat's gonna break
One of these days and it'll be great
Until then we'll just sit and bake
And play guitar
Cuz that's who you are
So play it...

It's Hot!
