CHARLIE'S SUMMER SONG
(for my son)
Copyright 1994 Ross Rademacher

The sun shines down on the children today
Ain't nothin' to do but just sit in the shade
Drink a tall glass of momma's lemonade
The sun shines down on the children today

The sky is blue, it's a very fine day
I don't feel much like cuttin' the grass
Or patchin' the roof, who knows, this weather may pass
But all in all in all it's a very fine day

[Chorus:]
Gonna grab my hat, gonna grab my pole
Wander on down to the fishin' hole
I got no need to fill I got no place to be
Set myself under a shady tree
And while the time away
It's a very fine day
It's a very fine day

Well my daddy is stern and I know what he'll say
He'll come to me with a frown on his face
Say only a fool leaves a good day to waste
My daddy is stern and I know what he'll say

But it seems a good day to send my troubles away
There's work to do, Lord there's much to be done
But it can all wait till another day comes
It seems a good day to send my troubles away

[Chorus]

Go down, children...
