Little Debby's from the corner store

Caught bruises at Hillside

Drinking that fruit punch on a Saturday

Brandon dancin' on the front porch

His big brother was George

He'd always borrow my tapes and lose them things

Goin' down to the community center

Rock, paper, scissors

'Cause you know the winner

would be the first to play Nintendo 64

In the summertime on the south side, it's alright

In the summertime on the south side, it's just fine

In Panther City

All the crackheads and prostitutes on Rosedale

My father said "Go straight home" or I'd catch hell

"Don't walk around them streets at night"

There was a girl, she lived on Pinky Street

her name was Jamie

I used to drive by her house every day

It was my first taste of love

In the summertime on the south side, it's alright

In the summertime on the south side, it's just fine

In Panther City

In Panther City, yeah

The other night, I rolled down Cannon

To remind myself and feel something

To remind myself and feel something

In the summertime on the south side, it's alright

In the summertime on the south side, yeaah, yeah, yes

In the summertime on the south side, it's alright

In the summertime on the south side

In the summertime, sometimes I go back there in my mind

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Alright, yeah
