Lyrics

Down in the street
There's a gunshot warnin'
Here comes that blue parade
Ready to save the day;
Down in the street
There's a whole block burning
Shout out for rent control
I ride the gang patrol;
Oh it's just another sign
That summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornados
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talk baseball and a handy houshold hymns;

Yes it's true in the u.s. of a
There's lots of room at the top
Oh but you can't sit down
On, no you can't sit down
And don't you know that boudoir
Looks just a ball and chain
Oh, no you can't sit down

All through the night
You hear gunshot warnings
This time it wasn't you
Paid your dues;

All through the night
You hear the city moaning
But be a tomcat prowling
Baby, your stomach's growling;
Oh, it's just another sign
That summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornados
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns;
