  The brutal sun reflected off my weary head                          
  sweat poured slowly down my face spring was over
  and summer was here, my friend and I went into town
  to have a good time, Indulging in all the fun

  We walked, we talked, we laughed, we played,
the whole nine yards our world around us was
slowly growing in every way due to the smell
of BBQ coal from the grilled burgers and hot dogs

Man we loved summer as the day was long,
our enthusiasm and child like sense of wonder
made this the best day of summer ever,
the burnt smell of coal from the grill afar
made me levitate with a sudden craving for burgers
