I woke up my hat and my boots because I knew that I'd missed the show
I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the barrow so brown's like heaven on earth to me
ย
So down we go in the summer's glow, you'll want to keep up with me
We set for the day and we know we can
Stay with a bun and a bottle of tea
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the barrow so brown's like heaven on earth to me
So we run outside
Say, "Who cares about the weather?"
Tell me you'll be mine
For a thousand years
And the water's fine
Wish this day could last forever
And stay summertime
For a thousand years
Jump, you little boy, sink down into the barrow
Jump, you little boy, down deep into the barrow
Swim, you little boy, never swim in the river
Swim, you little boy, down deep into the barrow
ย
The girls arrive so very alive with ribbons and shining hair
You'll be risking your life with a class
Of a dive, I hope that I see you there
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the barrow so brown's like heaven on earth to me
ย
I woke up my hat and my boots because I knew that I'd missed the show
I didn't know what day it was and I didn't need to know
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the barrow so brown's like heaven on earth to me
So we run outside
Say, "Who cares about the weather?"
Tell me you'll be mine
For a thousand years
And the water's fine
Wish this day could last forever
And stay summertime
For a thousand years
Jump, you little boy, sink down into the barrow
Jump, you little boy, down deep into the barrow
Swim, you little boy, never swim in the river
Swim, you little boy, down deep into the barrow
ย
Jump, you little boy, now
Jump, you little boy, now
Swim, you little boy, now
Swim, you little boy, now
Jump, you little boy, now
Swim, you little boy, now
Swim, you little boy, now
