lyrics

next to you is a glass of wine
moon’s half full
it’s the summer time
shoob-a-doop-doo, rollin’ bentley “are” type
orange blue shoes,
keep it 3-1-5

well she smiles
i turn just look -
magic crystal ball-
bees buzzing, babbling brooke
sun gloss mountains they whiz right by -
you’re my ice cream you’re my
apple pie…

oh next to you, castle in the sky -
you call it “vacay”
tokyo to shanghai
you call it “escapade”
petersburg, dubai,
bhurj khalifa vista -
got that look in your eye

they call her “mona lisa”
she’s a one-of-a-kind,
ooo good golly,
i’m one lucky guy,
crystal chandeliers -
foreign fashion lines,
when she take it off,
leave me star struck, blind -

well she smiles
i turn just look
magic crystal ball
bees buzzing, babbling brooke
sun gloss mountains they whiz right by
you’re my ice cream you’re my
apple pie…
you’re my apple pie

she smiles
i turn just look
magic crystal ball
bees buzzing, babbling brooke
sun gloss mountains they whiz right by
you’re my ice cream you’re my
apple pie…
you’re my apple pie

hip-hip hooray,
it’s the summer time
baby mona lisa give me
peace of mind
she keeps me warm
when i get cold at night,
who’s ever felt such simple delight?

she’s the summer undressed, reborn
she’s the one i’ve been singin’ for -
she’s a girl with jasmine green eyes...
go figure - leave me cross eyed when she walk on by...

leaves me starstruck, blind, half-dumb
she brings the lightning of kingdom come -
she leaves me starstruck, blind, half-dumb
make me fall down from my mountain top...

sweet and low
castle in the sky -
said you’re my ice cream...
you’re my apple pie...
