Backstory:
It's the dog days of summer, we're chasing life without a care. People hanging out and moving slow, so the heat doesn't drive them stark raving mad. It's the dog days of summer, we're all trying to escape the blistering heat. This Round The Globe song was co-written by Clare Steffen & Barry Geldzahler. Vocals by Wendy Tuttle & Kevin Fisher.
Lyrics:
V1
August days are long and hot
Feel the steam coming off the city street
Our porch swing is just the right cool-down spot
We're all trying to escape the blistering heat
Prechorus
It's the dog days of summer
There's relief from the heat in the air
It's the dog days of summer
Chasing life without a care
V2
August nights seem extra long
There is no breeze, and the air is deadly still
The radio's playing our favorite song
Hot and Spicy chicken cooking on the grill
Prechorus
It's the dog days of summer
There's relief from the heat in the air
It's the dog days of summer
Chasing life without a care
Chorus
It's the dog days of summer
The afternoon storm is about to break
Lightning bolts draw tree limbs in the sky
Thunderclaps and the sky cracks
Rain's the only natural thing
That brings us relief from the sweltering heat
It's the dog days of summer
The storms playing rhythm on the downbeat
Solo
V3
People hanging out and moving slow
So the heat doesn't drive them stark raving mad
Watching lightning and thunder put on a show
Rain washes away the heat and we're so glad
Prechorus
It's the dog days of summer
Kids burn their feet, barefoot on concrete
It's the dog days of summer
It's so hot you could fry eggs on the street
Chorus
It's the dog days of summer
The afternoon storm is about to break
Lightning bolts draw tree limbs in the sky
Thunderclaps and the sky cracks
Rain's the only natural thing
That brings us relief from the sweltering heat
It's the dog days of summer
The storms playing rhythm on the downbeat
