Their drinking on the deck down at Maggie's Margaritas
They bumper to bumper out at the marina
They've been waitin' all spring
It's a summer thing
The sun is getting right and the water is getting warmer
The days are getting longer, them shorts are getting shorter
Won't hear me complain
It's a summer thing
So grab a cerveza and everyone raise 'em
And let's all give thanks for today
We may not remember June through September
Drinking our troubles away
It's a summer thing
This little party cove ain't no Panama City
But the beer is ice-cold and our girls are just as pretty
Drivin' us boys insane
It's a summer thing
Well, the moon is coming out, but we're just getting started
We're gonna build us a fire and play some Bob Marley
And we'll all sing
It's a sumer thing
So grab a cerveza and everyone raise 'em
And let's all give thanks for today
We may not remember June through September
Drinkin' our troubles away
It's a summer thing
So grab a cerveza and everyone raise 'em
And let's all give thanks for today
We may not remember June through September
Drinkin' our troubles away
But that's okay
It's a summer thing
It's a summer thing
Here's to you, here's to me
May we never disagree
Let's raise a glass to days gone by
