**Long Hot Summer Night**
It sure was a long, long, long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see, (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But my heart was way down in a cold, cold winter storm.
Oh my darling, where can you be, where can you be, baby, where
can you be?
There were three sugar walls and two candy cane windows
But Sylvia's mood melted all those in sight
Ev'rybody's on fire but I'm snowing in a cold blizzard.
Where are you on this-uh hot cold summer?
Where are you on this-uh hot cold summer?
Where are you on this-uh hot cold summer night'. (night, night)
Around about this time the telephone blew its horn across the room
Scared little Annie clean out her mind.
(Roman the candle, he peeps out of his peek-a-boo, hide and seek)
And grab little Annie from the ceiling just in time.
And the telephone keeps on screamin' (yeh, yeh, yeh)
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
"Hello", said my shaky voice
"Well how you doing?" (I start to stutter, uh, uh)
"Can't you tell I'm doing fine?"
[t was my baby talking and she's way down 'cross the border.
She says "I'm goin' to hurry to you, I've been a fool and I'm tired
of cryin' " (tired of cryin')
Yeah. It was a long, long hot summer night
As far as my eyes could see
But I can feel the heat comin' on as my baby's gettin' closer.
I'm so glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me.
So glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me (2x)
So glad that my baby's comin' to rescue me (rescue, rescue...)
