Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
Bell the cat, trap the rat
Ball the jack, chew the fat

Shoot the breeze, scratch the fleas
Pass the cheese, lose the keys
Read the signs, connect the lines
Pay the fines, save your dime

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh my

Ride the train, count your change
Sit up straight, wail your pain
Don't delay what I say
Check your style, run a mile

Hump a freight, got a date
Make a buck, baby, try your luck
Change a tire, pull a wire
Chase a time, catch a liar

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh my
My, oh my

Wash the beds, leave the dead
Throw your seed, wake up dead
Catch the flu, burn the stew
Shine your shoes, sing the blues

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh my
My, oh my
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh my
Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh my
My, my my my my
