Rain won't pour no rainwater in the reservoir cloudless sky

Each year hotter than the one

Before can't hold out long one more summer and we may

Be up and gone

No mercy in July no mercy and the sun's on fire

The mercury just keeps on climbin' no mercy in July

Ain't one drop more rainwater in a soda pop

Long hot nights start sweatin'

And ya just can't stop start sweatin'

And ya just can't stop

No mercy in July no mercy and the sun's on fire

The mercury just keeps on climbin' no mercy in July

If it don't rain and things don't change

Gonna' go bust four long years nothin' but tears fruitbowl's gatherin' dust

Still no breeze it may jump another ten degrees rain'd better

Come down shade's no shelter on days like

These shade's no shelter on days like these

No mercy in July no mercy and the sun's on fire mercury

Just keeps on climbin' no mercy in July no mercy

And the sun's on fire mercury

Just keeps on climbin' no mercy in July

No mercy in July mmm no mercy in July

No mercy in July no mercy in July
