Sommartider, hej hej, sommartider 
(Sommartider) 
Jag känner det är nå'nting på gång 
(Sommartider) 
(Sommartider) 
Kom och stanna ute natten lång 
(Sommartider) 
Snurra runt i en stad som glöder, som viskar: Bli min i natt 

Sommartider hej hej sommartider 
Ge mej din hunger, ge mej din hand 
Ge mej allt du vill och allt du kan 
Sommartider hej hej sommartider 
Läppar mot läppar som tar mej i land, 
som ger sommartider till varann 

(Sommartider) 
Sommar Sommar våt och het 
(Sommartider) 
(Sommartider) 
Kom och lek en sommarlek 
(Sommartider) 
Lev ditt lev i den tid som brinner, som lockar: Stanna inatt... 

Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Ge mej din hunger, ge mej din hand 
Ge mej allt du vill och allt du kan 
Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Läppar mot läppar, två hjärtan i brand, 
som ger sommartider till varann 
(Sommartider) du tar mej 
(Sommartider) du tar mej 
(Sommartider) du tar mej 

du tar mej till en annan (Sommartider) värld. 

Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Ge mej din hunger, ge mej din hand 
Ge mej allt du vill och allt du kan 
Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Läppar mot läppar som tar mej i land, 
som ger sommartider till varann 

Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Ge mej din hunger, ge mej din hand 
Ge mej allt du vill och allt du kan 
Sommartider hej hej sommartider! 
Läppar mot läppar, två hjärtan i brand, 
som ger sommartider till varann
