Summer Afternoon

Summer Afternoon - Phil Madsen

Beneath bleached skies
By turquoise seas
Towelling hats
And sunburnt knees
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

The pipi twist
With tyre swings
Toi toi tails
And holiday flings
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

Chorus
Sand dune slides
Cicadas call
A three-legged race
And a prize for all
Caught by the tide
In a deckchair of dreams…
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

Driftwood wickets
At the front of the Bach
An old tennis ball
Dad spills the catch
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

A tartan rug
With fish and chips
Whoops that’s the second Jelly Tip
To hit the deck
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

Chorus
Sand dune slides
Cicadas call
A three-legged race
And a prize for all
Caught by the tide
In a deckchair of dreams…
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

One more wave
The end of the day
Salt on your lips
A smile on your face
The two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…

....Caught by the tide in a deckchair of dreams…

Let these days last forever
Always be together
Yes these days last forever
Because the two best words in the world
Are summer afternoon…
Are summer afternoon…

La de da…
