When it's ice cream weather get the gang back together 
Roll down your windows and ride 
They'll be sleepin' in the sand dunes dancin' in the streets 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive 
 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive  
(sum sum summer ah live) 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive 
(ah keep the summer) 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive 
(sum sum summer alive) 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive 
(Try to keep the summer) 
 
When it's ice cream weather all the girls will look better 
The boys try to give them a ride 
To the one last party 'fore the school bell rings 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive 
 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive  
(sum sum summer) 
They're just tryin' to keep the summer alive

Lay down in the sun 
And watch the clouds roll by 
And bein' with the one you love 
In the summertime 
 
When it's last September back in school we'll remember 
The cure for the wintertime blues 
Grab your girl hit the road head on down to the beach 
You'll be comin' home with sand in your shoes
