[Intro]
Sun dried…
(Fried)
What a day…
(What a way)
Heat comin’ down
(All around)
No shade
(To be made)
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin’
The sun was already hot
Stepped outside
And forgot what I forgot
[Refrain]
Sun dried
(Fried)
… I tried
Shake n’ bake
(More than I can take)
Sun dried
(Fried)
[Verse 2]
Put on some sunscreen
Put on a hat
Tried to stay cool
But that was that
Fan blowin’ hot air
AC runnin’ thin
Open up the freezer
Just to stick my head in
[Chorus]
Sun dried!
(Fried!)
Baked up crispy
On the outside
Sun dried!
(Fried!)
Shake n’ bake
Till there’s nowhere left to hide
Sun dried!
(Fried!)
I tried…
(Oh, I tried!)
[Bridge]
Is it the heat?
(Could be… the humidity)
I dunno…
(But I’m startin’ to glow!)
[Break]
Shake!
(Bake!)
Shake n’ bake!
(Shake n’ bake!)
How much can you take?
[Instrumental]
[Extended Swampy Groove — Electric Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Deep Bass, Drums]
[Drums build]
[Guitar bends]
[Sax answers guitar]
[Percussion intensifies]
[Final Refrain]
Sun dried
(Fried)
… I tried
Shake n’ bake
(More than I can take)
Sun dried
(Fried)
Sun dried!
(Fried!)
[Outro]
Sun dried…
(Sun dried…)
Fried…
(So fried…)
I tried…
(You tried…)
Shake n’ bake…
(Too much to take…)
Sun…
Dried.
(Nature cried)
