Summer (Where Do We Begin?)

 is a song from "Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension". It is sung by Phineas and Ferb to the 2nd Dimension Phineas and the 2nd Dimension Ferb to describe what summer is.

Lyrics
Chorus: Summer...

Phineas: Summer is running through the sprinklers in your t-shirt, shoes and jeans

Rolling down a grassy hill, yeah, that's what summer means to me, it's true

There's so much more to do

The days are longer

The nights are shorter

The sun is shining

Ferb: It's noticeably warmer

Phineas: It's summer, every single moment is worth its weight in gold

Summer, it's like the world's best story and it's waiting to be told

It's ice cream cones and cherry soda dripping down your chin

It's summer, man, where do we begin?

Summer is ponds and pools and garden hoses, tryin' to beat the heat

Summer, bicycles and roller skates and even just bare feet

It's also... Surfing tidal waves, creating nanobots

Or locating Frankenstein's brain

Finding a dodo bird, painting a continent

Or driving our sister in...sane

''Oh, wait. Maybe we're going too fast.'' (Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 are shown shivering)

Summer, it's crickets and cicadas and a glass of lemonade

Summer, it's sitting with your brother in the backyard under the shade of a big tree

That's what it means to me

The days are longer

Phineas and Phineas-2: The nights are shorter''' ''' The sun is shining

Ferb-2: It's noticeably warmer

Phineas: It's summer, every single moment is worth its weight in gold

Summer, it's like the world's best story and it's waiting to be told

It's ice cream cones and cherry soda dripping down your chin

It's summer, man, where do we begin?

It's summer, man, where do we begin?

It's summer, man, where do we begin?

Chorus: Summer...

Phineas: Where do we begin?

Chorus: Summer...

Phineas: Where do we begin?

Background information

 * Some of the lines are from Today is Gonna Be a Great Day.
 * A version has been released with vocals from Danny Jacob. When he sings "This could possibly be...", he hits a C5 on the word "this." This lyric has been omitted in Phineas's version. If it weren't omitted, it would've been Phineas' highest note on the show, beating his B4 in Rollercoaster.
 * They complete the line "Driving our sister insane" before Phineas's interruption in the album version.
 * Phineas breaks the fourth wall by having his eyes staring directly at the screen.
 * In Disney Brazil, it debuted as a crossover-music video played by Rock Bones from the argentine sitcom Peter Punk on September 1st, 2011, and on September 13th in Disney XD Latin America.
 * The lyrics "It's ice cream cone and cherry soda dripping down your chin" is ironic because Phineas and Ferb don't have chins.
