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'
