Movie version
Phineas-2: ''Summer? I think that was outlawed a long time ago.'' Phineas: ''You guys don't have summer? Wel...that's...that's terrible.'' Phineas-2: ''Summer. It sounds dangerous yet oddly compelling. What is it?'' Phineas: ''What is summer? Man, where do I begin!''

Phineas: 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, and where do we begin?

Summer is ponds and pools and garden hoses, trying 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... ''Oh, wait. Maybe we're going too fast.'' (Phineas-2 and Ferb-2 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, and where do we begin? Chorus: Summer, and where do we begin? Phineas: It's summer, man, where do we begin?

Album version
Chorus: It's 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, trying 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 insane. ''Oh, wait. Maybe we're going too fast.''

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.

Chorus: Summer... Phineas: Where do we begin? Chorus: Summer... Phineas: Where do we begin?
