1.

I’m a lucky kid, you know what I did

That crazy, hazy, lazy summer long?

Just imagine the scene: an orchard green

That crazy, hazy, lazy summer long.

The sun is shining in the sky,

It’s cool just to sit and watch the clouds float by,

It’s summertime an’ the livin’ is mean! In the orchard green.

Oh, what lazy fun, in the summer sun,

Here in the orchard green.

 

2.

Hear the squawk of a jay as it scoots on its way,

Here in the orchard green.

Hear the buzz of a bee, as it crosses the lea,

Here in the orchard green.

A butterfly may flutter by,

See the shimmer of a dragonfly,

It’s summertime an’ the livin’ is mean! In the orchard green.

It’s a crazy thing, this song that I sing,

Here in the orchard green.

 

3.

Oh, what lazy fun, in the summer sun,

Here in the orchard green.

Just imagine the scene: an orchard green

That crazy, hazy, lazy summer long.

A plane up high might catch the eye,

A tractor ploughs its furrow in a field nearby,

It’s summertime an’ the livin’ is mean! In the orchard green.

It’s a crazy thing, this song that I sing,

Here in the orchard green.

It’s summertime an’ the livin’ is mean! In the orchard green.

Oh, what lazy fun, in the summer sun,

Here in the orchard green.
