lyrics

Well our whole family piled in our SUV and we drove 2 hours into the country
Down a bumpy dirt road, through beautiful trees, we put our hands out the window and we rode the breeze
And we played lots of games, we made up rhymes, listened to Baby Shark like 37 times
And just when that car ride was more than we could take we arrived at a big blue crystal clear MAGICAL LAKE

The Lake, lake the lake the lake the lake the lake, the lake YEAH!
It was a beautiful time, it was a beautiful place, maybe the best one we ever had!

Well we found our little cabin, we made a little fire we cooked a little food, we felt a little tired
It got really dark, the stars were really shiny, we looked up in the sky and we felt really tiny
Then the kids got whiny, (wah) we all went to bed,
barely been asleep an hour when July woke up and said “I’m so itchy, so itchy, its more than I can take”
And I said “I know its because you don’t take a bath when I tell you, so just go to sleep and when you wake up, you can take a bath in…”

The Lake, lake the lake the lake the lake the lake, the lake YEAH!
It was a beautiful time, it was a beautiful place, maybe the best one we ever had!

Well the next morning, we awoke to a knock. The sun was barely up it was barely 6 o clock
And guess who it was when we opened the door, it was a smelly hiker who was like:
“Hey is this the store?” and we said “no man geez, for goodness sake, this is a cabin, the store’s down there by the lake”

The Lake, lake the lake the lake the lake the lake, the lake YEAH!
It was a beautiful time, it was a beautiful place, maybe the best one we ever had!

Well July was still itchy,
“I needed a scrub”
And that lake looked like a big beautiful tub.
We went down to the water and tiptoed in
Then I snuck up behind her with an evil grin
Then i pushed her in, she said
“BIG MISTAKE, NOW EVERYBODY’S GOTTA GET INTO THAT LAKE”
“I’m gonna push my own momma into that lake
I’m gonna push my own dadda into that lake
I’m gonna push my little sister into that lake
I’m gonna push that smelly hiker into that lake

That lake! That lake! That lake! THAT LAKE!

We took a little hike up a beautiful hill, sat on a blanket and got really still.
Cuddled together to stay warm, talked about how the lake was formed
And we were filled with love in that lovely place, maybe the best time we ever had…
There at the lake.
