Lyric

Ba-da, ba-da, hey!

Warm breeze lifting the paper fan

You pull me laughing toward the bandstand

Yellow sandals tapping on the tile

I catch your grin from across the aisle

Turn the corner, taste the lime

Every little step lands right on time

No need to hurry, no need to plan

Take my hand and follow where the rhythm began

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-bai, come on, come on

Let the afternoon carry us along

Sha-la-la, sha-la-lai, bright as a day

You and I keep finding new ways to play

Doo-ba, dee-ba, da-ra, hey!

Bap-a-dap-a, roo-ba, ray!

Doo-bee, wah-bah, dee-da-dow

Keep that smile, don't stop now!

Fresh-cut mango dripping down your thumb

A brass note rings and the whole crowd comes

Blue kite climbing over the avenue

Every bright color looks better with you

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-bai, come on, come on

Let the afternoon carry us along

Sha-la-la, sha-la-lai, bright as a day

You and I keep finding new ways to play

When the sun leans low on the old arcade

We'll still be dancing through the lemonade

One more turn, one more spin

Let the happy noise pull us in

Doo-ba, dee-ba, da-ra, hey!

Bap-a-dap-a, roo-ba, ray!

Sha-ba-dee, sha-ba-dow

Summer's got us now!

Ba-da-ba, ba-da-bai, come on, come on

Let the afternoon carry us along

Sha-la-la, sha-la-lai, bright as a day

You and I keep finding new ways to play

Ba-da, ba-da, hey!

Stay awhile, stay awhile
