Take me 'round the city on the back of your bike It's sunny out and we can do whatever we like Spend a moment in the park watching folks get naked Then hit the flea market just to find a dope record I'll break it down for you, it's simple and plain This is one of those days when all the stress and the strain Has got to go out the door, down the drain, off your back Take a journey, try to focus on the train, not the track Now play it back The day is at its peak, and at the market The vendor's shouting "Get it while it's fresh!" And we're a target Get some carrots in a bunch and strawberries in a box And top it off with ice cream and macadamia nuts Seeing that we're lazy and it's hot Let's find a shady spot Pull out a picnic blanket and just drop Now it's strictly forbidden To make even the smallest move Heat is rising from the concrete But here all is cool If the town is hot, and you've found the spot All around the block people will get busy relaxin' If the sound is hot, but your town is not Call us 'round the block We 'bout to get busy relaxin' Now let's go Strolling down the sidewalk slowly and discover Everything that's best about the city in the summer Young mothers with babies talking to old ladies Male models blasting music from an open top Mercedes Girls are doing jumping jacks, the carousel is packed Everybody's smiling, ain't no monkeys on our back 'Cause the only work that people do is on their tans Don't hurt yourself, spread some lotion on in advance Good God! It's such a beautiful sensation I could do this for a job for a minor compensation Just cruise around complacent with the wind in my hair Choosing every move depending on What's cookin' and where Today we're looking to share all that's good and fair So give that homeless bum the coins You thought you couldn't spare Put it there if you're with me You copy? Are you with me? Call the office: "I'll be needing some sick leave" If your town is hot, and you've found the spot All around the block people will get busy relaxin' If the sound is hot, but the town is not Call around, what's up? We 'bout to get busy relaxin' The sun is setting now We're at a table in the harbor With a sweet latte, I'm savoring The start of what will be A warm and humid night after a hot day Made for night swimming How's the water? Top rate And you don't need a swimsuit or a towel 'Cause the way we operate is bare-skin-natural Let the breeze dry you up, inhale the summer air This is what it means to be alive without a care When the town is hot, and you've found the spot All around the block people will get busy relaxin' If the sound is hot, but your town is not Call us 'round the block We 'bout to get busy relaxin'
