Lyrics (Start at 0:11):

Summertime and the living’s easy
Bradley’s on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we’re
Well qualified to represent the LBC
Me and me and Louie, we gon’ run to the party
Dance to the rhythm, it gets harder

Me and my girl, we got this relationship
I love her so bad but she treats me like
On lockdown like a penitentiary
She spreads her loving all over
And when she gets home there’s none left for me

Summertime and the living’s easy
Bradley’s on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we’re
Well qualified to represent the LBC
Me, me and Louie, we gon’ run to the party
Dance to the rhythm, it gets harder

Oh, take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will someday rise
So what am I gonna be doing for awhile?
Said I’m gonna play with myself
Show them now we’ve come off the shelf

So what?

Summertime and the living’s easy
Bradley’s on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we’re
Well qualified to represent the LBC
Gee, me and Louie, run to the party
Dance to the rhythm, it gets harder

Evil, l’ve come to tell you that she’s evil
Most definitely
Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil
Most definitely
The tension, it’s getting hotter
I’d like to hold her head underwater, oh

Me and my girl, we got a relationship
Me and my girl, we got a relationship, Mmhm
My girl, we got a relationship
Oh and my girl

Take a tip, take a tip, take a tip from me
Bradley’s on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance will agree that we’re
Well qualified to represent the LBC
Me, la-la Louie, while everybody
Run to the rhythm, it gets harder

Summertime and the living’s easy
