white man in white pants was dancing
|
inside out and lost his ass
|
a little black girl on black rollerblades
|
found his butt and picked it up
|
and gave it back and said "hey pops,
|
c'mon down we're having a parade!"
|
|
everybody in this town
|
is turning brown, it's summertime
|
c'mon down we're having a parade
|
don't answer your phone, let it sing
|
and join the orchestra of rings
|
that will be our soundtrack for today
|
|
a million people realize there's better things to do
|
than wasting their whole lives being accessible to you
|
like throwing off their clothes and marching down the avenue
|
singing "i'm in new york city, don't i look so pretty? hey!"
|
|
mike bloomberg and jesse jackson
|
sit in tompkins square relaxin'
|
reach a stalemate start another game
|
sarah jessica, tawana,
|
and the indian jane fonda
|
eating mr. softies in the shade
|
|
a big fat mama in a thong
|
and a college girl with nothing on
|
share a laugh over a lemonade
|
seven foot trannies trading tricks
|
with business men on pogo sticks
|
'cause everyone's invited, hip hooray!
|
|
a million people realizing that reality
|
is much more real outside their door than it is on TV
|
a plethora of specimens have taken to the street
|
singing "i'm in new york city, don't i look so pretty? hey!"
|
|
it's summertime in new york city
|
and the people aren't just plain old pretty
|
they're hot as hell, i think i'm gonna faint
|
even the junkies and the hari krishnas
|
and the guy who spray paints solar systems
|
on the backs of plastic paper plates
|
|
it's so hot you could fry an egg
|
on the back of the pit-bull humping my leg
|
i kinda like it, what more can i say?
|
'cept here comes hot dog in her wig
|
she's three times a lady, sweating like a pig
|
the sun is shining everything's okay
|
|
a million people realize a smile on someone's face
|
is even more contagious than west nile or sars or aids
|
and what makes people smile more than a big parade
|
through the streets of new york city
|
where everyone's so pretty
|
life used to be so shitty
|
but it's summertime, summertime, summertime, wooooooooo!!!!!!
|
|
white man in white pants was dancing

|
c'mon down we're having a parade,
|
c'mon down we're having a parade,
|
woohoo! hey!!!"
