This was hard. I can barely sing, much less rap. This is my first and ONLY attempt at rapping. Ever. All I could think of was the Sugar Hill Gang so I took my inspiration from there (not that you can tell). I cobbled this out of old samples and my recent summer sunburn. ;)
lyrics
It’s summer time -that’s party time
We be feeling this groove when we're making our move
Just me and all my ladies gonna party at the pool
There's Alicia - she's a teacher
She’s been hearing my confessions like a preacher
And Elena- she's a painter
Piss her off and no one can restrain her
Now Nikki- she's tricky and it gets a little sticky
‘cause she wants to find a boyfriend but she's always really picky
But Samantha - she's a dancer
She can move her body slinky like a panther
Dana's in her swimsuit, Molly's in pink
talking about their tattoos and where they get their ink
Denise is on fire ‘cause she finally got a sitter
Mugging on the deck, posting pictures on Twitter
CHORUS:
Summer breeze- Now we do what we please
We’re gonna soak up the sun- We’re gonna turn up the fun
It’s a hedonist’s dream when we’re wearing our bikinis
Kicking out the jams and sipping on Bellinis
Hanging with my girls we be shaking off the world
Dissin’ on our jobs, sick of dealing with the snobs
Cause we make it on our own- we’ve been working real hard
Chillin in the zone in a sunny backyard
Gotta step into the pool ‘cause the party's getting hot
Now the crystal cool water’s something sure to hit the spot
Everybody’s laughing -Party at the pool, yeah
Jumping and splashing -Party at the pool
Forget all your worries just relax and unwind
It’s a beautiful day and we got nothing but time
Drifting on a floatie - I’m drifting on a floatie
CHORUS
Sitting in the sun with my SPF’s on
Feeling kinda hungry – I’ve been ticking like a bomb
Some ladies cook - others like to buy
But all of us is bringing stuff for everyone to try
There’s some burgers on the grill -Ketchup, onions, kosher dill
Put some lettuce and tomato - Don’t be stingy with the mayo
We got cheese n' macaroni -A gallon of spumoni
Cheddar, brie and crackers and some fancy pepperoni
A kaleidoscope of veggies with the hummus on the side
Juicy watermelon wedges and the chicken wings are fried
White bean, black bean, three bean salad
Bacon covered scallops gonna tickle your palate
We got different kinds of wine from the bargain to sublime
In the morning- in the evening -we be drinking all the time
We got frozen margaritas -Vodka, whiskey, rum and beer
Even coconut mojitos - You’ll be wishing you were here
CHORUS
Summer breeze is blowing and the sun is gonna shine
The ladies here are jamming -everybody’s feeling fine
Gonna soak it up – yeah
We’re gonna turn it up
Party at the pool, yeah
It's a party at the pool, yeah
