[Verse 1]
The California animal is a bear
Angeleno, but the devil may care
Summertime to talk and swear
Later maybe we could share some air
I'll take you to the movies there
We could walk through Leicester Square
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man

[Chorus]
London in the summertime
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summertime
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright

[Verse 2]
Hesitate but don't refuse
The choice was yours but you said choose
The look she used was green and sharp
Stabbed that boy all in his heart
Come what may the cosmos will
Take me up and down on Primrose Hill
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
[Chorus]
London in the summertime
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summertime
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright

[Bridge]
Yeah, cuss me out and it'll feel alright
It's all right now
Call me now and use the satellite
It's alright, it's alright
Down and out and it'll sound alright
It's alright now, it's alright

[Verse 3]
The California flower is a poppy, child
Felony send me all the gold in your smile
Drift away from anyone you can
Nothing ever goes according to plan
Though I know that every river bends
Time to say hello to snow on the Thames
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man

[Chorus]
London in the summertime
Call me now, use the satellite
London in the summertime
Cuss me out and it'll feel alright
