That mean old sun
shining down on me
Burning my eyeballs,
I can't hardly see
I've been laying here for six hours
trying to make up my mind
Whether to go to work or
just to stop trying
Cause baby it's hot
Don't you know I'm burning
up
The bees are humming,
an d the summers are coming,
and it's hot.
My wife told me to go out and cut the grass.
I thought I'd lay down a bit
just to let the sun pass.
I saw a little ant
draggin' a piece of bread as big as me
He was workin' so hard,
I started sweatin'
so I just put him out of his misery
Cause baby it's hot
Don't you know I'm burnin'
up
The neighbors are fightin'
The mosquitoes are bitin'
And it's hot
I got a funny old lady,
I just don't understand
She picked the strangest times
to wanna hold my hand
Sweat goin' out my body,
I'm as mad as I can be
Don't hold my hand, woman,
just get away from me,
cause baby it's hot.
Don't you know I'm burnin'
up.
Wouldn't like to go to the pool,
find myself keepin' cool,
cause it's hot.
Now I'm not a lazy man,
but it's one thing
I know the rain must fall
to make the grass grow.
The good Lord put me here,
so I know I'm one of the human race.
I don't ask for too much,
just a little cool air across my face,
because baby, it's hot.
Don't you know I'm
burning up ?
Talk about getting a job
I just might stop
Cause baby it's hot
Pass me the ice
