Summertime Rolls Lyrics
Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!
He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...
Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Oh.... the summertime rolls

This has been one of my favorite songs for a long time. The lyrics are just sort of impressionist sketches of an afternoon spent with a loved one. The mood the song creates, the way it builds, that classic bass line, the way it breaks down to just the bass at the end - it\'s all just about perfect.\n\n"Her nose is painted in pepper sunlight" is just a fantastic line.
