Picnic in the Summertime Lyrics by Deee-Lite

The Elektra Years

1994

[Verse 1]
Walk with me until we find the right spot
Our little excursion picnic in the park
Feet in the grass until it gets dark
That’s when I saw the fireflies spark
The popsicle stick is finally smooth
Hop on a lily pad for the summer groove
Walking arm and arm, so glad you came along
Check out the curly vine
The blanket was too small, but you call me baby doll
I could kiss you all the time
[Chorus]
Watchin' people have a good time
Watchin' people have a good time in the summertime
Flying picnic blanket in the summer groove
Watchin' people have a good time
Watchin' people have a good time in the summertime
[Verse 2]
No interruptions we’re all alone
'Cause I don’t have a cellular phone
Sweatin your pose, wiggling your toes
Come at me like a panther
'Cause you know yes is my answer
My mind is in the dirt making mud pies
The heavy heat stretch opened my eyes
You don’t need a subway token
Nature’s fee remains unspoken
The sun is shining through the leaves
On the wild flowers in the weeds
[Chorus]
Watchin' people have a good time
Watchin' people have a good time in the summertime
Flying picnic blanket in the summer groove
Watchin' people have a good time
Watchin' people have a good time in the summertime
[Bridge]
It's a summer thing
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime
It's a summer thing
It's a summer thing
Flying picnic blanket in the summer groove
[Outro]
Good time
Good time
Good time
Good time
Good time
Good time
Good time
Good time
