In the Summertime

In the	Summertime when the weather is high,

you can stretch right up and touch the sky.

	A	E
When the	weather’s fine, you got women, you got women on your	mind.

	B	A	E
Have a drink,	have a drive, go	and a-see what you can	find

If her daddie’s rich take her out for a meal.

If her daddie’s poor just do what you feel.

Speed along the lane, do a ton, or a ton a twentyfive.

When the sun goes down you can make it, make it good in a lay-by.

We’re not grey 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 fishing, or go swimming in the sea.

We’re always happy, life’s for living, and that's our philosophy.

When the winter’s here, yeah, it’s party time.

Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes - it’ll soon be summertime!

And we’ll sing again. We’ll go driving, or maybe we’ll settle down.

If she’s rich, if she’s nice, bring your friends, an‘ we’ll all go into town!
