  • Hey Joe, get up and go
    Wouldn't like to tell you twice
    Hey mac, get off my back
    Didn't ask your advice
    There's all this heat
    Out in the street
    Telling us to move along

    It's gonna be a long hot summer
    From now on

    Hey man, I don't understand
    We ain't hardly bothering you
    Say fag, you're just a drag
    We ain't nearly finished with you
    There's all this heat
    Out on the beat
    Telling us we don't belong

    It's gonna be a long hot summer
    From now on

    Hey Dan, give us a hand
    We won't make it alone
    But we can all make a stand
    Next time the whistle's blown
    So get your feet
    Out on the street
    When you hear the heat is on

    It's gonna be a long hot summer
    From now on Look out sisters
    Look out brothers
    We won't be fooled again Writer/s: TOM ROBINSON
