Well the sun is burning down on the pavement
 C                                           Bb   F
Money in the bank I ain't gonna save it
               C                             Bb   F
Jenny's coming by hope she makes it

           C                                        Bb   F
There's a party next door, sounds like it's cooking
            C                                      Bb   F
I poked my head over the wall took a look in
                       C                            Bb   F
There was a five piece band  they was really rocking
            C                                 Bb   F
Ah, looked like some kind of family reunion

Wll that  summer heat has got me feeling lazy
C                                         Bb   F
  The air is warm and the sky is hazy
                C                            Bb   F
People getting down, getting crazy
     C                                                Bb   F
Ah people getting down, getting stupid, getting crazy
