[D] If it ain't broke then don't try to [G] fix it
And think of the summers of the past
Adjust the bass and let the alpine [Cm] blast
Pop in my CD and let me [D] run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise
And lay [Cm] back cause it's the summertime
[Dm] [G]

[D] [Cm]
[D]
School is out and it's sort of a buzz
But back then I didn't really know what it was
But now I see what happened is
The way that people respond to summer madness
The weather is hot and girls are [Dm] dressing less
And checking out the fellas to tell them who's [G] best
Riding around in the summer
In your Jeep or your [D] Benzos
Or in your Nissan sitting on [G] Lorenzos
Back in Philly we be out in the [D] park
A place called the Plateau
It's where [Cm] everybody go
Guys out hunting and girls doing [D] likewise
Honking at the honey in front of you with the [G] light eye
She turned around to see what you [D] beaving at
It's like the summers a natural [Cm] apodisiac
And with a pen and pad I can pose this [D] rhyme
To hit you when the kitchen's quick
For the [Cm] summertime
Summer, summer
[Dm] Ain't [G] [Cm]
[D] [G]
[D] [Gm]
[Dm] [G] a day and I ain't been on the [Dm] court yet
Hustle to the mall to get me a [Cm] short set
Yeah I got on sneaks but I need a [D] new pair
Cause basketball courts in the summer got [Cm] girls there
The temperature's about 88
[D] Hop in the water plug
Just for old [Cm] time's sake
Break to your crib, change your clothes once [D] more
Show a glider to a barbecue to start the [G] four
Sitting with your friends as y'all reminisce
About the days growing up and the first person you kiss
And as I think back makes me wonder
[D] How the smell from a grill could [G] spark off a scowl
All the kids playing out [D] front
Little boys messing [D] around with the girls playing [Cm] double dutch
While the DJ's [Gm] spinning a tune
As the [D] old folks dance at your family [Cm] reunion
Then [G] six and flop rolls around
You just finished wiping your [Cm] card down
It's time to cruise
So you [D] go to the summertime
Hang out and look like a [Cm] car show
Everybody come looking real [Dm] fine
Fresh from the barber shop or fly through the [Cm] beauty salon
Every moment frontin' and mattsin'
[Dm] Chillin' in the car they spend all day [Cm] wattsin'
Leanin' to the side
But you can't speak to me
I can't speak [D] through two miles an hour
So everybody [Cm] sees you
There's an air of love and of [D] happiness
And this is the fresh prince's new [Cm] definition
Of summer madness
