[short summery surf safari guitar instrumental intro] [Verse] Sun’s out blazing on the prom-a-nard Ice creams melting, everyone’s half-charred, Runners by the seafront keeping time, I’m just people-watching with a tequila and lime. There’s a fella jogging by me past the pier, I’m trying not to look, but it’s very clear, Something’s got a rhythm of its own, Dancing to the beat from a mo-bile phone. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I know I shouldn’t stare, But my eyes are being drawn … down there Every stride is a little show, A synchronised performance on the go. [Chorus] And I go, (OOH LAH LAH) what a curious sight Bobbing up & down the pavements in the summer light A little left, little right, A cheeky summer show Like metronomes they keep on swinging to and fro I’m just sipping lemonade and trying to play it cool But the way these boys are swinging just make me drool A little left, little right, a cheeky summer show Summer’s in motion everywhere that i go-woah-oh! (OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH) [Verse] Down by the lido where the boys all swim They’re all getting ready to dive right in Budgies being smuggled everywhere you look, It’s enough to make a girl forget her paperback book. There’s a guy emerging from the sea, Reminds me of a scene from a Bond movie Water dripping slow-mo, with a clear outline It’s getting so hard, not to look this time. [Pre-Chorus] (Oh) The lifeguard blows his whistle loud, I see some movement in the crowd, every step from here to there I’m pretending not to stare. [Chorus] But I go, (OOH LAH LAH) what a curious sight Bobbing up & down the pavements in the summer light A little left, little right, A cheeky summer show Like pendulums they keep on swinging to and fro I’m just sipping lemonade and trying to play it cool But the way these boys are swinging just make me drool A little left, little right, a cheeky summer show Summer’s in motion everywhere that i go-woah-oh! OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH) OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH) [Instrumental surf safari dance interlude] [Bridge] It’s not the muscles It’s not the tan, It’s not the six-pack on the man, It’s the way that Mother Nature saze “Here’s a little something for your gaze.” From Brighton to Botany Bay, The shorts brigade are out to play, Every park and seaside lane’s Got a little bounce to entertain [Instrumental surf safari dance breakdown] [Chorus] So I go, (OOH LAH LAH) what a curious sight Bobbing up & down the pavements in the summer light A little left, little right, A cheeky summer show Like metronomes they keep on swinging to and fro I’m just sipping lemonade and trying to play it cool But the way these boys are swinging just make me drool A little left, little right, a cheeky summer show Summer’s in motion everywhere that i go-woah-oh! [Chorus] Yeah, I go, (OOH LAH LAH) what a marvellous scene, The most hypnotic summer that’s ever been A little swagger, little sway, a cheeky silhouette, Something that keeps the nation talking on the net. (Hey!) Raise a cone of Mr Whippy to the sky, Here’s to all the joggers keeping my spirits high, When the sun shines high Can’t help look below Summer’s in motion everywhere that i go-woah-oh! (OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH) (OOH LAH LAH)
