Long Hot Summer Lyrics
(Verse One)
I know you like to wear my dressing gown when I'm not there.
I guess you like it in my shoes
Just 'cause you drive a Mazarati and the ladies stare
Don't mean you'll go as fast as I do
I know it's summer in the city and the sun is high
But you could play it cool again
'Cause boy I've seen you disco dancing with your pants on fire
We need a little tropical rain
(Bridge)
So baby, baby
Watch the needle when your heading south
You drive me crazy
Just remember you can burn me out
So get down...
(Chorus)
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
You put me in a fever fifty stories high
And suddenly I'm freezing and I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
(Verse Two)
If you wanna get fresh, get outta my car
'Cause the boys are due, we're going too fast
I'm taking my time now
If you wanna fly high, keep outta the sun
When your fingers start to burn, it's no fun
So why don't you climb down?
If you wanna get fresh, then take a cold shower
Put your back on ice before you turn sour
Nobody can fool me
Little pain in my head and dust out my eyes
Every time I feel the temperature rise
I need you to cool me
(Bridge)
I'm partied out of house and home
So baby if you fight me, how you gonna like me?
Running down that Old Kent Road
So think before you bite me,
How you gonna get back home?
(Chorus)
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
You put me in a fever fifty stories high
And suddenly I'm freezing and I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
(Outro)
Coz I-ee-I-ee, I might be
So why-ee-y do you fight me?
Coz I-ee-I-ee, I might be
So why-ee-y do you fight me?
A little late
To take it slow
But I couldn't wait
To party
At the cannon ball
Got what I wanted
Now I've seen it all
So find me
I've ricocheted
Around the world
Drinking pink champagne
It's easy
Turn the heat too high
It's what I wanted
But I just can't lie
Now I'm queasy
Ba ba ba (repeat until fade)
I know you like to wear my dressing gown when I'm not there.
I guess you like it in my shoes
Just 'cause you drive a Mazarati and the ladies stare
Don't mean you'll go as fast as I do
But you could play it cool again
'Cause boy I've seen you disco dancing with your pants on fire
We need a little tropical rain
So baby, baby
Watch the needle when your heading south
You drive me crazy
Just remember you can burn me out
So get down...
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
And suddenly I'm freezing and I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
If you wanna get fresh, get outta my car
'Cause the boys are due, we're going too fast
I'm taking my time now
When your fingers start to burn, it's no fun
So why don't you climb down?
Put your back on ice before you turn sour
Nobody can fool me
Every time I feel the temperature rise
I need you to cool me
I'm partied out of house and home
So baby if you fight me, how you gonna like me?
Running down that Old Kent Road
So think before you bite me,
How you gonna get back home?
It's been a long, hot summer
And it's 95 degrees in the shade
It's only Sunday morning
And I need that Friday feeling again
And suddenly I'm freezing and I don't know why
It's been a long, hot summer
And I'm shaking like a cool lemonade
Coz I-ee-I-ee, I might be
So why-ee-y do you fight me?
Coz I-ee-I-ee, I might be
So why-ee-y do you fight me?
To take it slow
But I couldn't wait
To party
Got what I wanted
Now I've seen it all
So find me
Around the world
Drinking pink champagne
It's easy
It's what I wanted
But I just can't lie
Now I'm queasy

I think we know the real meaning of this song. The lyric "Watch the needle when you're heading south" make it pretty obvious. Can't believe this song was meant for Herbie...
The summer is hot, the dog days of summer are boring, so yeah.
From the singles boxset: Long Hot Summer was written by Xenomania when the team were in LA. Xenomania visited the Disney offices in LA and were asked to write a song that would feature in the Lindsay Lohan 'Herbie' movie. This was the eventual result, although, for various reasons, the track never made the movie.
I love this song, it's in my top three faves of theirs. I love from "If you wanna get fresh get out of my car" to "But I just can't lie, now I'm queasy." I could kinda see this as a song for Herbie...
