 Well, listen everybody to what I'm gonna to say

 I don't think that I can beat this heat another day

 I went down to the river about 98 degrees

 I spent all day and half the night in water to my knees

 Oh those questerin' days of summer are here

 When sun shines more likely than not

 Gonna lay here in the shade gonna drink another ice-cold beer

 Cause ooh boys, it's hot

 Well I cut off all my Levis, I had to make some shorts

 Left me with a bunch of legs of hide and varied sorts

 I'm standin' by my garden I wish like hell I'd rain

 I know that all the seeds I planted gotta feel the same

 Oh those questerin' days of summer are here

 When sun shines more likely than not

 Gonna lay here in the shade gonna drink another ice-cold beer

 Cause ooh boys, it's hot

 Well listen everybody to what I've gotta say

 I don't think that I can beat this heat for another day

 I've got dogs and cats and chickens all sleepin' in the shade

 A dreamin' how those huskies in Alaska got it made

 Oh those questerin' days of summer are here

 When sun shines more likely than not

 Gonna lay here in the shade gonna drink another ice-cold beer

 Cause ooh boys, it's hot

 Oh those questerin' days of summer are here

 When sun shines more likely than not

 Gonna lay here in the shade gonna drink another ice-cold beer

 Cause ooh boys, it's hot

 I said ooh boys
