When the ices melt   I admit I felt   A lifting in my heart   Every land becomes an island   Everywhere a paradise      Oh my, it's so divine   There's no more snow at Christmas time   Just summer rains      So I hung up my hat, scarf and coat   Put on my birthday suit   Even though it is December   It feels like it's the month of June      When I get up, I get up and go   Surfing with the girls   They are all from California   Finer than an oyster's pearl      Oh what a place to be   I pluck a mango from a tree   As the summer rains   Are falling from the sky      When the ices melt I began to sing   A joyful melody   An orchestra of ukuleles   Strumming in the sweetest key      The tail of a wintery ghost   Is lost in an island breeze   I'm paddling into the sunset   Leave behind my memories      Oh, it's begun   What's been done can't be undone   Once summer reigns      I'm dancing with the sea   Water washing over me   As the summer rains   Are falling from the sky   Summer rains   Are falling from the sky
