Lyrics
I’m feelin’ it
Pop-tops poppin’, flip-flops floppin’
Drop-tops droppin’ down
Ray-Bans rayin’, waves are wavin’
Ladies are layin’ out
Feelin’ it
iPods rockin’, sunblock blockin’
Igloos stockin’ up (yep)
Cutoffs are cuttin’, worry ’bout nothin’
But puttin’ somethin’ in my cup (feelin’ it)
And I can’t, I can’t find nothin’ wrong
With nothin’, nothin’ that’s goin’ on
It’s makin’ me wanna sing a song
That goes like this
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
Oh yeah
I’m feelin’ it
Riptide rippin’, skimboard skimmin’
Sip, sippin’ somethin’ on ice (fill it up)
Hot gets hotter, head to the water
Jump into paradise (feelin’ it)
And I can’t, I can’t find nothin’ wrong
With nothin’, nothin’ that’s goin’ on
It’s makin’ me wanna sing a song
That goes like this (like this)
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Sunset settin’, gettin’ good’s gettin’
Good as it can get
Lip gloss glossin’, no more talkin’
Baby, givin’ me a kiss
(Feelin’ it)
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like feelin’ that summertime feelin’
Kicked back, relaxed, just chillin’
I’m feelin’, I’m feelin’ it
Whoa, whoa
Ain’t nothin’ like diggin’ that summertime
Diggin’ in the sand, gettin’ tan
With your hand in my hand
I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Oh yeah
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
(Whoa, whoa)
Pop-tops poppin’
iPods rockin’
Flip-flops floppin’
Oh, I’m feelin’ it
