lyrics

Feel that summer breeze a-blowing
Blowing better times around us to our door
Feel that summer rain a-falling
I feel it wash away the dreary winter's day

In the summer, it's a summer, it's a summer in Australia
In the summer, it's a summer, it's a summer in Australia
Da da la da daaaaa!

Feel that summer heat a-burning
My steering wheel's so hot I cannot drive my car
We're out here at a summer festival
We'll hope and sing and dream that we might be stars

Sipping beer out in the backyard
we're out here round the barbie, laughing with our friends
Talkin' 'bout old times and good times
We're living in the moment, the fun just never ends!

It's a-summer in Australia, we love it so much, we put it in our song.
