Song Lyrics
Woo! It’s hot. Check it: I’ve got an idea though. Go get some balloons; meet me at the fire hydrant in front of my house in 5 minutes. I’ve got an idea.
It started on a hot summer’s day,
The opposite of cold and frigid; man, just forget it.
We were so hot that we wanted a blizzard,
A huge snowstorm, ’cause man, it was so warm.
I mean it was so hot you could fry an egg on the sidewalk,
You’ve got no shoes; don’t even try to walk.
I was feeling so sluggish and lazy,
I didn’t want to move or budge; it was crazy.
But then my friend D called me quick,
He said, “I don’t know what you think; we should get a cold drink,
You know, a beverage. Meet me in a little bit.
I’ll make some lemonade; soon we’ll be sipping it.
” I started to leave, but then I had a thought,
I know how to cool D down when it’s this hot.
I found some balloons and filled ‘em with water,
Water balloon fight! I’d make D the target!
Water balloon fight! “Yeah, what’s up!
We got the whole block rocking, it’s just too hot.”
Water balloon fight! “Yeah, that’s it!
So get ready, get set, ’cause we’ll all get wet !” (x2)
So at D’s house, I could hear his voice out back,
I thought I’d sneak around now for a sneak attack.
I moved carefully and cautiously; it was something,
Quieter than a tiger when he’s out hunting.
I didn’t see D, but his voice was so loud,
So with a big yell, I jumped out!
It became clear to me, it became apparent,
That D wasn’t there, and I was embarrassed.
All I saw was a speaker that played a CD,
And from the speaker came the voice of D.
And visible to me, I mean I could see it,
Was an X on the ground, and I was real near it.
Then out popped D, throwing balloons; he caught me,
And two dudes with squirt guns to wash me.
I jumped behind a fence for some defense,
But oh, no! There was a six-year-old there with a whole hose.
The water spurted out the hose, shot out,
Thank goodness it was hot out, ’cause now I was dripping.
D had a better strategy than me, a better plan,
’Cause now five kids jumped out from behind a van.
They had Super Soakers, plus a launcher,
To launch water balloons—that thing was a monster.
So D soaked me, true, I got caught,
But it’s cool to stay cool when the weather’s this hot.
