Lyrics:
All: End of the spring and here she comes back
Hi Hi Hi Hi there
Them summer days, those summer days
That's when I had most of my fun, back
High high high high there
Them summer days, those summer days
Rose: I "cloud nine" when I want to
Freddie: Out of school, yeah
Larry: County fair in the country sun
Sly: And everything, it's true, ooh yeah
All: Hot fun in the summertime x 4
All: First of the fall and then she goes back
Bye bye bye bye there
Them summer days, those summer days
Rose: "Boop-boop-ba-boop-boop" when I want to
Freddie: Out of school, yeah
Larry: County fair in the country sun
Sly: And everything, it's true, ooh yeah
All: Hot fun in the summertime x 4

I came home from the Vietnam War in August of 1969. This song was just released at that time and I loved it. I went home to Pennsylvania, picked up my wife and we drove all across the USA to my stateside duty station in San Francisco... the home city of Sly & The Family Stone. Every A.M. station was playing this song on our car radio all across the USA. I bet we heard that song about 100 times on that 8-day drive from Harrisburg to San Francisco. And since I had just come home from the war... my wife and I indeed had a "hot time" in that 1969 summertime...!!!

One of my favorite things about Sly and the Family Stone is the way they'd each take a line themselves every now and then. You can hear an example in the chorus. The bass singer, Larry Graham, would go on to have quite a solo career in the mid 70s into the 80s.

I'm 71, which means I was born a year later in 1953....they can bash boomers if they want but we made real music, fought against dishonesty and corruption, war and the nukes, equality form Blacks, migrant workers, women, animals and Mother Earth. I still listen to my rock n roll, and still fight for the same groups (including myself). Get up and dance. Peace.
