[English]

Baby, it's the Fourth of July

I can make your fireworks fly

Every color up in the sky

It's not only red, white and blue now

We just gettin' started

Yeah, I'm gonna blow your mind

Get a taste of my apple pie

You ain't gonna want just one bite, yeah

We just gettin' started

Yeah, we gonna go all night

Baby, come and find me poolside

I'll be soakin' up the sunshine, yeah

You'll know it when you see me

My sunscreen is dripping

Dripping down my legs

And my ice cream is melting

It's getting all over the place

I'm loving this heat

Come kick it with me

Let's turn up this hot summer day

And my sunscreen is dripping, yeah

I'm burnin' up, babe, yeah (I'm burnin' up)

(I'm burnin' up, burnin' up, burnin' up)

I'm burnin' up, babe

Yeah, I'm talking sex on the beach

And get stranded on an island with me

I ain't afraid to dive in, now we vibin'

Baby, you can slip and slide in (oh)

Sand between my cheeks, baby

We just gettin' started

Yeah, we gonna go all night

Baby, come and find me poolside

I'll be soaking up the sunshine

My sunscreen is dripping

Dripping down my legs

And my ice cream is melting

It's getting all over the place

I'm loving this heat

Come kick it with me

Let's turn up this hot summer day

And my sunscreen is dripping, yeah

I'm burnin' up, babe (I'm burnin' up)

Hey, baby, I'm on fire

It's pouring out of me

The smoke drifting to the sky

Boy, make it rain on me, babe

My sunscreen is dripping (yeah, it's dripping, oh)

Dripping down my legs (dripping all over me)

And my ice cream is melting (oh-oh-oh)

It's getting all over the place (I'm loving it)

I'm loving this heat (oh)

Come kick it with me (yeah)

Let's turn up this hot summer day (let's turn it up, babe)

And my sunscreen is dripping, yeah (yeah-yeah)

I'm burnin' up, babe, yeah (I'm burnin' up)
