Lazy, Long Hot Summer's Day
by 
Hans Theessink 
recording of 1995 
from 
Crazy Moon (RFR 1016) 
Mama's in the kitchen 
Baking up some ice-cream pie 
Papa's on the river fishing 
Fish are so lazy they won't bite 
I'm lying in the shade 
Watch a lonely cloud drift by 
Lazy, long hot summer's day 
Lazy, just pass the time away 
Feel like doing nothing 
In this angry summer heat 
Just get high on the smell of honeysuckle 
Intoxicating sweet 
And watch the river flow 
As she winds her lonely way down to the sea 
Lazy, long hot summer's day 
Lazy, just pass the time away 
Can't play a lick 
My fingers just won't move no more 
My guitar plays a tune 
That I've never ever heard her play before 
It's her own sweet composition 
She don't seem to trust my brain no more 
Lazy, long hot summer's day 
Lazy, just pass the time away
