I'm hanging round the airport
I'm waiting for the plane
Mm, something sweet and sticky
Mm, runnin' down my hand

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)

Mm, a kinky little sister
Mm, a-wearin' rubber gloves
A sexual health emergency
A copulation fantasy
You and me, ecstasy
Hate to be reality

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy)
I'm taking off my clothes
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)

(Summertime, summertime, oo)
(Summertime, summertime, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)

Ask, and it shall be given
Pay, and ye shall receive
Cigarettes and pantyhose
Hit me in my funnybone
Hynie hole, Tootsie roll
Jelly roll, it's time to go

Popsicle of love
Gimme, gimme, gimme one of those
(It's summertime, boy!)
Coconut delight
Honey, honey, honey, don't let go
(It's summertime, love)
I'm throwing up my hands
Buddy, buddy, what's wrong with you
(it's summertime, boy)
I'm blowing up my mind
Lemme, lemme see what I can do
(It's summertime, love)

(Summertime, summertime, oo)
(Summertime, summertime, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)

(Summertime, oo)
(Summertime, oo)
(Sugar bee, oo)
(Sugar bee, oo)
(Summertime, summertime, oo)
(Summertime, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)
(Sugar bee, sugar bee, oo)

Talking Heads

Ground-breaking rock band Talking Heads is arguably one of the most influential bands of all time. Spearheaded by their slightly crazy lead singer David Byrne, they were at the forefront of the New Wave movement.

The band was formed in 1974 by Byrne and drummer Chris Frantz. Frantz’s then-girlfriend-later-wife Tina Weymouth was quickly recruited to play bass. After a few recordings and performances, guitarist/keyboardist Jerry Harrison was hired to round out the group.

Their first album, Talking 77, was appropriately released in 1977. It quickly received critical acclaim.
