Burning hot rays, skins of children stinging

Humid damp air, people left in despair

Sweat and heat is all the summer's bringing

Shine down oh sun, scorching rays, so unfair

Nights twisting on the bed, fumbling for air

Sheets tangling around limbs, sticky, sticking

Oh sleeping is such a messy affair!

Sweat seeping through your pores, dripping, tickling

How to cool down? How to cool down? you ask

Soak in the cold tub, swim down the river

Stay indoors, cool yourself, wear a chill masque

Get an iced drink, quench your thirsty quiver

The heat, sweat, sleepless nights are a bummer

But I wouldn't change a thing in summer
