Meatballs theme song lyrics

Are You Ready for the Summer?Performed by Camp North Star Kids Chorus

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!

No more pencils, no more books,No more teachers' dirty looks,Out for summer, out till fall,We might not go back at all!

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!

Campfires burning, stars are bright,Singin' songs by the firelight,Swimmin', sailin', ridin' too,Lots of fun for me and you!

Are you ready for the summer?Are you ready for the good times?Are you ready for the sunshine?Gonna be, gonna be a fine time!
