lyrics

Long, long hair and tie dye flares,
Going through a stage,
Like an ancient relic from
Some psychedelic age.
Lazy, hazy summer days,
With no place to go,
Just kicking back down in the park,
With my radio.

And the summer sun shone brighter than Bermuda,
Down in the park among the trees,
Chilling out to Bach and Buxtehude,
Baroque o'clock on BBC Radio Three.

Ten thousand people every day
Are rushing to and fro,
And they don't know where they're coming from,
Or where they wanna go.
Slow and steady wins the race,
That's what Aesop said,
Just carry on at your own pace,
Take your time instead.

And the summer sun shone brighter than Bermuda,
Down in the park among the trees,
Chilling out to Bach and Buxtehude,
Baroque o'clock on BBC Radio Three.

Long, long hair and tie dye flares,
Going through a stage,
Like an ancient relic from
Some psychedelic age.
Lazy, hazy summer days,
With no place to go,
Just kicking back down in the park,
With my radio.

And the summer sun shone brighter than Bermuda,
Down in the park among the trees,
Chilling out to Bach and Buxtehude,
Baroque o'clock on BBC Radio Three.

And the summer sun shone brighter than Bermuda,
Down in the park among the trees,
Chilling out to Bach and Buxtehude,
Baroque o'clock on BBC Radio Three.
