In The Summertime Recorded in 1970 by the English skiffle group Mungo Jerry.

In the summertime when the weather is hot You can stretch right up and touch the sky When the weather's fine You got women, you got women on your mind Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find. If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal If her daddy's poor just do what you feel Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton an' 25. When the sun goes down You can make it, make it good in a lay-by. We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean. We love everybody but we do as we please When the weather's fine We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea We're always happy, life's for livin' yeah That's our philosophy. Sing along with us, dee dee dee-dee dee Dah dah dah-dah dah, yeah we're hap-happy Dah dah-dah, Dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah Dah-do-dah-dah-dah, Dah-dah-dah do-dah-dah. When the winter's here, yeah it's party time Bring your bottle, wear your bright clothes It'll soon be summertime And we'll sing again, we'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down If she's rich, if she's nice, bring your friends and we'll all go into town. In the summertime when the weather is hot You can stretch right up and touch the sky When the weather's fine You got women, you got women on your mind Have a drink, have a drive Go out and see what you can find. If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal If her daddy's poor just do what you feel Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton an' twenty-five When the sun goes down, you can make it, make it good in a lay-by. We're no threat, people, we're not dirty, we're not mean We love everybody but we do as we please When the weather's fine, we go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea We're always happy, life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy. Sing along with us, dee dee dee-dee dee Dah dah dah-dah dah, yeah we're hap-happy Dah dah-dah, dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah Dah-do-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah do-dah-dah.
