In The Summertime (R.Dorset)

R.Dorset

  Empire Burlesque session, Oceanway Studios, Hollywood LA - November 1984  

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 think, have a drive, go out and see what you can find.

If your daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If your daddy's poor better 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 ev'rybody, but we do as you please. 
When the weather is fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea. 
We're always happy. Life's for living, yeah! that's your philosophy. 

When the winter is 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 do 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. 

Sing along with us, doo-be-da-da-doo...
