Hotter Than May

This volleyball song bursts with fun energy, painting the singer as a confident, unstoppable player who thrives in the heat of competition. The lyrics lean into rhythm and repetition, with the catchy refrain “Hotter than the month of May” serving as both a boast and a playful chant. From the gear—headbands, knee pads, and elbow pads—to the signature moves of bump, set, and spike, the song captures the sweaty, adrenaline-fueled joy of the game. The chorus and bridge drive home the theme of consistency and skill, making it both a hype anthem and a tongue-in-cheek brag.

The second verse adds comic contrast by rejecting beach volleyball in favor of indoor play. With witty lines about sunburns, bikinis, and the unpredictability of wind, the singer pokes fun at themselves while doubling down on their preference for the reliable, intense atmosphere of carpeted courts. Together, the verses, pre-chorus, and chorus build a character who’s both self-aware and larger-than-life, inviting listeners into a world where volleyball is more than a sport—it’s an expression of confidence, fun, and flair.

Lyrics

Verse
Hotter than the month of May
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play
Sweat and a t-shirt
Headband
Knee pads
Elbow pads
Hair bands
Set 'em up
I'll knock 'em down
I'm the best in this room
You better ask around
Bump
Set
Spike
I play
Hotter than the month of May

Chorus
(Hotter than the month of May)
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play
(Hotter than the month of May)
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play

Verse 2
Said
"Let's go to the beach
It might be fun"
No
The sun
It burns my buns
Plus the wind will blow my ball
And I don't like that much at all
Don't wanna sweat in my bikini
Plus my thighs look kinda teeny
But on this carpet
They're just right
So pass me that ball
Alright

Pre-Chorus
Bump-set-spike
I'm hot
Hotter than the month of May
Sweat in my headband
Hot
Hotter than the month of May
Bump-set-spike
I'm hot
Hotter than the month of May
Sweat in my headband
Hot
Hotter than the month of May

Chorus
(Hotter than the month of May)
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play
(Hotter than the month of May)
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play

Bridge
Bump-set-spike
I'm hot
Hotter than the month of May
Sweat in my headband
Hot
Hotter than the month of May
Bump-set-spike
I'm hot
Hotter than the month of May
Sweat in my headband
Hot
Hotter than the month of May

Outro
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play
(Hotter than the month of May)
Get a bump-set-spike every time I play
