In The Summertime Song by Mungo Jerry

 

In the summertime, when the weather is high

You can stretch right up and touch the skyWhen the weather's fineYou got women, you got women on your mindHave a drink, have a driveGo out and see what you can find
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a mealIf her daddy's poor, just do what you feelSpeed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-fiveWhen the sun goes downYou can make it, make it good in a lay-by
We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not meanWe love everybody, but we do as we pleaseWhen the weather's fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the seaWe're always happy, life's for livingYeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with usDee-dee-dee, dee-deeDah-dah-dah, dah-dahYeah we're hap-happyDah dah-dahDee-dah-do, dee-dah-do, dah-do-dahYeah, dah-do, dah-dah-dahDah-dah-dah, do-dah-dah (alright, alright, alright)Alright
When the winter's here, yeah it's party timeBring your bottle, wear your bright clothesIt'll soon be summertimeAnd we'll sing again, we'll go drivingOr maybe we'll settle downIf she's rich, if she's nice, bring your friendsAnd we'll all go into town
In the summertime, when the weather is highYou can stretch right up and touch the skyWhen the weather's fine, you got womenYou got women on your mindHave a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a mealIf her daddy's poor, just do what you feelSpeed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-fiveWhen the sun goes down, you can make itMake it good in a lay-by
We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not meanWe love everybody, but we do as we pleaseWhen the weather's fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the seaWe're always happy, life's for livingYeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with usDee-dee-dee, dee-deeDah-dah-dah, dah-dahYeah we're hap-happyDah dah-dahDee-dah-doo, dee-dah-do, dah-do-dahYeah dah-dah, dah-dah-dah
