Gaze out over the river
So smooth and barely moving
In this heat, a heavy
Sweaty, lazy fever dream
Held still by the hot sun
Shimmering heat wave
Mesmerize me so that the
Day and night become like a river
Summer fever slow
It's Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever winds me tight up
Until I rattle like the locust call
Summer fever makes me edgy
Puts me on the prowl
Summer fever, I get a little to wild-eyed
Easy, lover, ease me now
Move into the shade
Near the shallow where she wades the river
She suddenly looks up to me
And they flash just like sun on the water
She says "I'm easy with my man
I was raised in the South, you know"
She wears a ribbon around her neck
Like the women of long ago
And the way that dress glides around you
Is a danger to my mortal soul
I home our Summer fever don't put me
End up on a roll
On a roll
For you and I, like the river
Summer fever flow
It's Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever
For you and I, like the river
Summer fever flow
It's Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever
Summer fever
