In The Summertime
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the summertime when the weather is nice
You can reach right up and touch the sky
In the summertime we'll go swimming, we'll go fishing in the sea
Have a drink, have a drive
And go out and see what you can find
We're not deadbeats, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody but we do what we please
Dan, dan, da…
Have a drink, have a drive
And 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
Na, na, na…
Have a drink, have a drive
And go out and see what you can find
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're not deadbeats, we're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody but we do what we please
Yeah
Have a drink, have a drive
And go out and see what you can find
In the summertime when the weather is nice
You can reach right up and touch the sky
Come on and touch the sky
Come on and touch the sky
Touch the sky
T-t-t-t-t-t, go on and touch the sky
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
In the summertime when the weather is nice
You can reach right up and touch the sky
In the summertime we'll go swimming and go fishing in the sea
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
In the summertime when the weather is nice
You can reach right up and t-t-t-t-t-touch the sky
Go on and touch the sky
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
