Lyrics
Hundred and six in the shade And there ain't no shade around The van's a rolling oven We pulled off in a little town A kid had a card table Sign in crooked marker pen Cold lemonade, a quarter We bought it all and then Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Singing in the sun Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Heatwave has begun Pour it over ice, boys Pass it down the line Cold lemonade, hot tin roof And everything's just fine We sat on the back bumper Boots off in the dust Harmonica was melting But we played it cause we must The kid sang every chorus Loud and out of key The whole town came out walking To see what it could be Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Singing in the sun Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Heatwave has begun Pour it over ice, boys Pass it down the line Cold lemonade, hot tin roof And everything's just fine Sweat runs down the guitar neck Strings are slick as glass Nobody's got a place to be Let the whole day pass Clap your hands together Stomp the sizzling ground The best band in the county Is the one that's passing through town Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Singing in the sun Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Heatwave has begun Pour it over ice, boys Pass it down the line Cold lemonade, hot tin roof And everything's just fine Oh, cold lemonade Oh, shake it in the sun Cold lemonade, hot tin roof Everybody, everyone
