Cheryl was watching her cats on the first very pretty summer day of the season one year. It is a pretty song about the sights she saw. Quite similar in theme to When Fall Comes to New England, but faster. Cheryl refers to this as another of her "Newport weather songs".

- The cats are lyin' in the yard next door and they turn me a sleepy eye,
- roll in the grass and spring so fast for a lazy butterfly.
- And it's a blue summer day
- Breezes blow and curtains sway
- A new comer, blue summer day
- The felines file to the backyard fence and they crouch in a lethal row
- The blue jays flee from the apple tree, and the bees buzz to and fro
- And it's a blue summer day
- Clotheslines hung in a hundred shades
- A new comer, blue summer day
- A loud lawn mower in a lawn somewhere brings a mem'ry to my ear
- And from the past I smell the grass and see the green so clear
- And it's a blue summer day
- Spiders spin and pipers play
- A new comer, blue summer day
- When the lawns are mowed and the laundry's stowed and the dusk is drawing near
- We'll light the torches on our porches and drink ourselves a beer
- And it's a blue summer day
- With streaks of red and hints of gray
- A new comer, blue summer day
- It is a true wonder, blue summer day.
