Wave the flag, pop the bag
Rock the boat, skin the goat
Trap the rat, bell the cat
Ball the jack, chew the fat

Shoot the breeze, lose the keys
Feed the poor, stop the war
Make the signs, connect the lines
Pay your fines, save your dimes

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my

Meet the best, read the rest
Hide in caves, walk on waves
Pull the tooth, stretch the truth
Feed the poor, start the war

Catch the flicks, get your kicks
Play your rags, pick up sticks
Take your pig, trim your wig
Try your tricks, impress the chicks

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my

Watch the bands, dig and dance
Live in shame, die in vain
Catch the flu, burn the stew
Shine your shoes, sing the blues

Wave that flag, wave it wide and high
Summertime done come and gone, my oh my
