Havaianas Officially Welcomes Summer!

Havaianas welcomed the sunniest and happiest season of the year with a musical flash mob in Power Plant Mall last March 7 at 1pm. Diners were suddenly surprised as a group of seasoned stage actors, led by thespian Joel Trinidad, acting as waiters, shoppers and even a security guard, broke into a catchy summer song, a Havaianas original, complete with dance moves. Life-sized inflatable slipper rafts or Havaianas Flip-Floats were also used to usher in the best time of the year. So, as the song says, "Trade your condos for cabanas. Trade your neckties for bandanas. Trade your shoes for Havaianas!" Summer is here once again!

SUMMER HAPPINESS

I SEE YOU LOOKING KINDA DOWN
THE CITY’S JUST NO FUN
SO WHY NOT TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN
AND PLAY OUT IN THE SUN?

SO LEAVE BEHIND YOUR NOISY CELL
MAKE SURE YOU’RE OUT OF REACH
AND THROW AWAY YOUR CARES, AS WELL
LET’S HEAD OFF TO THE BEACH!

WE’RE TIRED OF THE DAILY GRIND
IT NEVER EVER ENDS
WE WANT TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
AND HANG OUT WITH OUR FRIENDS

IT’S SUMMER, IT’S SUMMER
THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR
IT’S SUMMER, IT’S SUMMER
SO LET’S GET OUT OF HERE
TRADE YOUR CONDOS FOR CABANAS
TRADE YOUR NECKTIES FOR BANDANAS
TRADE YOUR SHOES FOR HAVAIANAS
WHAT TIME IS IT? WELL, CAN’T YOU GUESS?
IT’S TIME FOR SUMMER HAPPINESS
TO BE INDOORS IS SUCH A BUMMER
LET’S HIT THE BEACH BECAUSE IT’S SUMMER

IT’S TIME FOR A VACATION NOW
SO PACK UP THOSE FLIP-FLOPS

WHERE LAUGHTER NEVER STOPS

IT’S SUMMER, IT’S SUMMER
