Summer Got Teeth

V6

[Intro - horns play a silly fanfare, organ doodles] [Verse 1 - ska upstrokes] Sidewalk steaming, tar on my shoes Half a melon and a bag of cherries to lose Girl on the fire escape painting her nails Whole block humming like a cage of nightingales [Pre-Chorus - drums build, handclaps] Nobody told me it would taste like this! (Hey!) [Chorus - whole band shouting together] Summer got teeth! (Hey!) Bite down! (Hey!) Summer got time! Slow down! Summer got teeth! [Verse 2 - ska upstrokes] Bus brakes crying on the avenue Kid on a milk crate with a tambourine too Old man dancing like he lost a bet Shirt full of holes and he ain't finished yet [Pre-Chorus - handclaps] Nobody told me it would taste like this! (Hey!) [Chorus - whole band shouting together] Summer got teeth! (Hey!) Bite down! (Hey!) Summer got time! Slow down! Summer got teeth! [Breakdown - organ and horns only, silly organ solo] [Verse 3 - short, half-spoken] Twelve dollars left and the sun coming down Cheapest kind of luck is the kind you touch It ain't much! (Hey!) [Chorus - everything, horns on top] Summer got teeth! (Hey!) Bite down! (Hey!) Summer got time! Slow down! Everything I own fits in a line! Summer got teeth! [Outro - horn fanfare, one cymbal crash, stop]
