The Four Seasons, Concertos For Violin And Orchestra, Op. 8: Concerto No. 2 In G Minor "Summer"- Presto

de Karl Jenkins

I’m bigger than you – I’m seven years old
That’s nothing – I’m seven and a half!
I’m stronger than you – I’m eight years old
That’s nothing – I’m eight and a half!
I’m prettier than you – I’m nine years old
That’s nothing – I’m nine and a half!
I’m cleverer than you – I’m ten and a quarter
That’s nothing – I’m ten and a half!
If you’re so big, tell Billy he’s slow
I can’t today, I’ve got a bad toe
If you’re so strong, go on lift this stone!
I can’t today, I’ve got a bad… bone
He can’t today, he’s got a bad… bone
If you’re so pretty, give Johnny a kiss
But Johnny is ugly. For shame, I’ll tell Miss!
If you’re so clever, what’s three hundred million
divided by nine over two?
That’s easy peasy lemon squeezy
but I’m not telling you!

And somewhere between the years-and-a-half
When the sky would skip and the sun would laugh
When the yard was the sea and the wall was the land
When the whole wide world could fit in a hand
We sang, we played, we sought, we found
We teased, we joked, we gathered around
We wrote, we read, we built, we drew
Before the years-and-a-half all flew
Away
