[Intro]
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot!
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
[Verse 1]
Every year it comes around (It's gettin' hot!)
The season when you got to throw down (It's gettin' hot!)
Don't wanna work, just gotta play
I'm gonna dance the night away
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
The steam is rising on the street (It's gettin' hot!)
In the dead of night you can feel the heat (It's gettin' hot!)
So grab a girl, don't stay at home
This ain't the time to be alone
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
[Chorus]
It's gettin' hot!
It's gettin' hot!
[Verse 2]
Let's get the car and take a trip (It's gettin' hot!)
Let's hit the beach and take a dip (It's gettin' hot!)
Let's have a picnic in the park
The kids will scream and the dogs will bark
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
Say hoo! (Hoo!)
Say get down! (Get down!)
Say yee-haw! (Yee-haw!)
(It's gettin' hot)
Say ooh! (Ooh!)
Say aah! (Aah!)
Scream! [Screams]
(It's gettin' hot!) Ya!
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Got to get away from jive-time folks (It's gettin' hot!)
Gotta snap your fingers, tell some jokes (It's gettin' hot!)
Now time's a-wastin' gotta make your move
Gonna hit the street and catch a groove
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
Gonna go downtown and catch a flick (It's gettin' hot!)
Gonna boogie down like a lunatic (It's gettin' hot!)
When winter comes I'll stay inside
But now's the time to slip and slide
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
[Chorus]
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot!
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
[Refrain]
Every year it comes around (It's gettin' hot!)
The season when you got to throw down (It's gettin' hot!)
Don't wanna work, just gotta play
I'm gonna dance the night away
It's gettin' hot, it's gettin'
