In The Summertime
Available on the album Reg Dwight's Piano Goes Pop
written by: Ray Dorset
In the summertime when the weather is high
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 and twenty five
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, yeah that's our philosophy
Sing along with us, de de de-de-dee
Da da da-da-da, yeah we're hap-happy
Da da da-da-da-da-da da da-da da
Da da da-da-da-da-da da da-da da
When the winter's here, yeah it's party time
Bring you 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 and we'll all go into town
