Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot

Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot

I keep holding back, I feel like I might burst out

Now's the time I want to change something

Let's wake you up and produce something new

Is it okay if I get a little too popular?

From there, from that dark room

Today’s sunny, so go outside, come on

The hot sun is blazing, burning us up!

Sneaking a glance with narrowed eyes, sunglasses on

Ice melts with a chill in my mouth!

The blue sky is so high

You’re doing great!

Hot Summer, Hot Hot Summer

Hot Summer, Hot Hot, this is really it

Hot Summer, Hot Hot Summer

Hot Summer, Hot Hot, it's summer, you know

Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot

我慢ばっかりじゃハジけそう

何か変えたい今こそ

目覚めそぅなキミをproduce

モテ過ぎちゃっても　イイかしら？

そこから　暗い部屋から

今日晴れだから　外出なよ、ほら

熱い日射しジリッ！て焼けて

チラリ　細めた目にsunglasses

氷は口でヒヤッ！て溶けて

青空高くて

やるじゃない！

Hot Summer, Hot Hot Summer

Hot Summer, Hot Hot これこそ

Hot Summer, Hot Hot Summer

Hot Summer, Hot Hot 夏だわ

Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot
