lyrics

(1-2-3-4!)

Forty-one degrees and the pool is closed for cleaning
Whose idea was that, whose entire idea
We lay on the hot cement like something spilled
(something spilled)
Our backs are burnt in the shape of the ground

Nothing to do (nothing to do)
That's not a complaint, that's the whole summer

Hot cement! Hot cement!
Too hot to move and too bored to care
Hot cement! Hot cement!
We'll do this again tomorrow

Our sister who isn't our sister started a fight
With a bloke who deserved it and two who didn't
We got barred from the only shop that sells ice
(sells ice, sells ice)
Now we walk twenty minutes for a warm drink and it's worth it

(dry, single voice)
We are going to be like this forever.
(BAND EXPLODES, DOUBLE TIME)

Hot cement! Hot cement!
Too hot to move and too bored to care
Hot cement! Hot cement!
We'll do this again tomorrow

(hot cement!)
