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, yeaaah, 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
