O Summertime

O Summertime
Sung to the tune of "America the Beautiful"


O sweltering white-vapored skies
And yet it does not rain.
O sweat the drips into my eyes,
that brings the sting of pain!



O Summertime, sweet summertime,
Thank God for the A.C.!
Without its chill
We'd be a-grill
From sea to shining sea.


O wilting, drooping vegetables,
That cook whilst in the ground.
O sand, deck, dirt unwalkable
Could fry an egg quite brown!



O Summertime, sweet summertime,
Thank God for peach iced tea!
'Neath shady trees
We seek a breeze
From sea to shining sea.


O Summertime, sweet summertime,
Our energy is sapped.
Too hot to run
In the blist'ring sun,
Thank goodness we can nap!

  2. Hehe Agreed that it is very hot! Thankfully it's been raining here lately. And the temperatures are way cooler than any other summer we've had. Normally they are in the triple digits, but not this year. Oh well!
