Time in the sunshine Yeah, yeah Come on then Yeah
Yeah, yeah Come on then
Time in the sunshine Yeah, yeah Come on then Yeah
Yeah, yeah Come on then
Time in the sunshine Yeah, yeah Come on then Yeah
Yeah, yeah Come on then
Yeah Come on then
Yeah I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to whanau around me
I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
Intoxicating is the summer breeze I can breathe
And exhale all the work-class monotony
Just get away from the life that we lead to get by
Not worried about how we're gonna get our next kai
Jus' skew it and BBQ it with cold beers, that's us bol
With the ones that we hold dear, the whanau and friends
But sometimes you even get sick of them Hardcase
Chief's and no Indian's to help us pitch a tent
Picture kids sand castles wit the picket fence
Too young to know the riches spend for it's wicked rent
Once they learn about life's river bends
Utilise the drift wood and use it for cricket wickets then
Game on the beaches in thongs and singlets
They more cuzzies the more the warm fuzzies coz we're all buzzing
To be together feel the sunlight twinkle on the face
That's the means to escape
Yeah I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to whanau around me
I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
Summer's always blazing, I remember days when
You could see heat waves rising off the pavement
Mischief typical little Hawke's Bay kids
Not looking before you leap bro sweet
Every swimming pool full and riverbanks packed
Chilly-bin's stacked tamariki in the back Dad's
Gone fishing casting the rod or the Con-Tiki
The cuzzies been out on the open sea
Hopefully we timed the tide sweet for a dive
And see what today's got in the craypot as a kid
Yo' we were told to stay around the rocks
Get our own feed with a bit of luck
I always made the first one I caught a gift to Tangaroa
God of the sea Paua Kina tongue and all
Even if we dont get no more
We all listen out for the outboard means Kai's on and I'm gone
I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
It's funny how time flies when your having fun
It's already high-tide and the sun's set
Bon fires on the beach while the kids eat
Lamb tails off the rack for a quick snack
Catching up with them long overdue chats
Cracking up from them long overdue laughs
Waiata on somebodies always got a gat(guitar)
I couldn't think of a better way to relax
I call this having a slice of paradise
But just enough to satisfy yah appetite
It helps me appreciate the life I have
And you'll find the better things in life you wont have buy
It's so real so it should(It's so real so it should)
It make you feel so good
And sometimes a holiday can seem a mile a way
But bugger that I'm gonna have mine today
Yeah I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
I just wanna go, I just wanna leave
Everything behind for the summertime breeze
Time in the sunshine that's what I need
With a beer in my hand to Whānau around me
I wanna go Sunshine over my shoulders, yeah yeah come on then
Sunshine over my shoulders, yeah yeah come on then
Sunshine over my shoulders, yeah yeah come on then
Yeah come on then
