Summer Jive Lyrics

A jump, a jump, a jump
A turning around and then
A jump, a jump, a jump
Then do the summer jive!

Rollerblade!
Star jump!
Dive bomb!
Stargaze!
Fly a kite!

A hop, a hop, a hop
A turning around and then
A hop, a hop, a hop
Then do the summer jive!

Rollerblade!
Star jump!
Dive bomb!
Stargaze!
Fly a kite!

A shake, a shake, a shake
A turning around and then
A shake, a shake, a shake
Then do the summer jive!

Rollerblade!
Star jump!
Dive bomb!
Stargaze!
Fly a kite!
