      Gm   C7               Gm
Summertime, and the livin's easy
                 C7                   Gm
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras MG
                      C7
All the people in the dance will agree
     Gm                      C7                Cm
That we're well-qualified to represent the L.B.C,
                           D7
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
And 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 shit
On lockdown, like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin' all over
And when she gets home, there's none left for me

Chorus:
      Gm   C7               Gm
Summertime, and the livin's easy
                 C7                   Gm
Bradley's on the microphone with Ras MG
                      C7
All the people in the dance will agree
     Gm                      C7                Cm
That we're well-qualified to represent the L.B.C.
                           D7
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
                                 Gm
And dance to the rhythm, it gets harder
         C7    Gm      C7
(Harder, yeah, harder, yeah)

Oh, take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will, some day, rise
So, what am I gonna be doin' for a while?
Said, I'm gonna play with myself
Show them how we come off the shelf

Chorus:
Summertime, and the livin'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 L.B.C.
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
And dance to the rhythm, it gets harder
(Harder, yeah, harder, yeah)

Gm         C7                          Gm         C7
Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil, most definitely
Gm    C7                     Gm         C7
Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil, most definitely
    Gm      C7              Gm     C7
The tension,  it's getting hotter
            Gm   C7            Gm    C7
I'd like to hold her head underwater
       Gm   C7 Gm C7 Gm C7
(Summertime)
Gm     C7
  (Ah, ah, ah)

Chorus:
Summertime, and the livin'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 L.B.C.
Me, me and Louie, we gonna run to the party
And dance to the rhythm, it gets harder
