Story behind the song
This song was inspired by a Christmas in July celebration on the Chesapeake Bay aboard the boat, "The Chessie Cat".
Lyrics
1. Saturday mornin' comin' down, Blue skies and sunshine all around. What do you do on a day like that? Set out for a cruise on the Chessie Cat. 2. Early evenin' comin' 'round; Close friends and good times all abound. The lines are stowed and the crew is pat. Headin' cross the bay on the Chessie Cat. BRIDGE Forty eight feet long, three stories tall, Split hull, tandem engines, Chessie's got it all! Glides over the waves so neatly, relaxing the soul completely, 'Til the summer winds give way to fall. 3. Back at the slip we gather 'round. Bright lights float by with a jolly sound. Who would expect an event like that: Christmas in July on the Chessie Cat. FLUTE SOLO 4. Winter mornin' comin' down. Blue skies and sunshine all around. What do you do on a day like that? Yearn for a cruise on the Chessie Cat! ENDING Next year, plan to be here. Fresh air, friends and good cheer. Headin' 'cross the bay on the Chessie Cat.
