Summer??

Someone said that it was summer

But I don’t think they’re right

The weather is still dreary

From morning through to night

 

Someone told me it was summer

But I think they’re kidding me

It’s not the sort of weather

For a picnic by the sea

 

Someone mentioned it was summer

But I they better think again

I haven’t seen a drop of sun

But have felt many drops of rain

 

Someone said that it was summer

Ok, I know they’re right

But when will we see sunshine

When will the days be bright

 

Someone told me it was summer

And they’re not kidding me

It’s just I can’t believe it

There’s no summer sun to see

 

Someone mentioned it was summer

They don’t need to think again

If only there was sunshine

More often than the rain

 

When will we get a summer

With sunny weather that will last

And not a few days here and there

That come and go so fast
