This is how I pray in the summertime,  this is how I pray in the summer  Got my glass of shandy,  now I feel fine, this is how I pray yeah    The more you say, the more you pray,  the less it's getting you down  The more you pray, the more you stay, the less it's getting you down.    Auntumn time, leaves falling all around  Winter time follows suit  Little bunnies freezing in the snow  Winter's such an ugly bute    Mid-city bluss getting you down  Take a break from the strain  Get out your car,  drink a glass of wine  Admit it, you feel great  It's the summertime    This is how I play in the summertime,  this is how I pray in the summer  Got y glass of shandy,  now I feel fine, this is how I pray, yeah    This is how I pray in the summertime,  this is how we play in the summer  Got my glass of shandy  now I feel fine, this is how I pray, yeah    And if your love had met   its sad refrein  Believe me, you will love again  And all the best laid plans  of mice and men go wrong  You can hear it in this song    This is how I break for   the summer time,  this is how I play in the summer  What's mine is yours, yours is mine  This is how I pray, yeah, oh, yeah    You got the funky drummer in '89  This is how I pray, yeah, oh, woah    The Mondays, The Roses,  blocking all your noses  Wearing baggy clothes  and their buffalo poses  Bank tellers, dropping little fellas  Loved up in the clubs with   football thugs, no malice  I dig your socks  Big fish, little fish, carboard box  So give me French-kiss, I love you  Voodoo Ray  I dream of Santa Ana  on the road to Mandalay    In the summertime   Where the weather is hot  In the summertime  Where the weather is hot  On my mind, on my mind  In the summertime  Where the weather is hot  In the summertime  Summertime  When the weather is hot  In the summertime  On my mind    I got shivers down my spine  On my mind  Happiness is surface light  On my mind  On my mind
