it's 97 and i'm working up a sweat
got my weekend workin' jeans on and my t-shirt's soakin' wet
as i'm leanin over workin'
sharpenin' my mower blade
i see a lady bringin' me some lemonade
workin' for the summer tryin' to earn some spendin' cash
for a little extra dough i'll show you i'm a handy man
with your husband gone i think you'll find a young man's lots of fun
so let's get down to business mrs. johnson
it's time to mow your lawn
half hour later as i'm cleaning up the mess
she had another small request
she took me to a beemer broken down and parked outside
if you can fix it boy i'll take you for a ride
so i opened up the hood and started taking things apart
soon i knew it was quittin' time 'cause it was gettin' dark
when i went inside she made me dinner man it sure was great
and when i'm finished eatin'
(i need my spending money
i'm diggin' my summer job
no income taxes no recession
i'm keepin' my summer job all year long)
