CC In the summertime when the sun goes down
The heat starts rising off the ground
My friends and I we gather round
We dance and sing to the cu ma la sound
Group Cu ma la sound

CC Everybody forms a circle
Now somebody jumps inside
Jump it hit it now
You clap your hands
You stamp your feet
You do the jerk
To the cu ma la beat
Come on hit it
