In the Summertime (Mungo Jerry) - STING 21505   (Paul Bristow)

 

 (Opener): CIRCLE LEFT: In the summertime when the weather is high

                                             - You can stretch right up and touch the sky
WALK all AROUND YOUR CORNER – SEE SAW your own

ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner, WEAVE THE RING

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal

                            SWING your Girl - PROMENADE - just do what you feel

Have a drink, have a drive - Go out and see what you can find

 

 

 (Figure):

Hey now the HEADS SPIN THE TOP – all the way ‘round you do – move on up

And then you SWING THRU – EXTEND – SINGLE HINGE – SCOOTBACK across and now

The BOY RUN RIGHT – PASS THE OCEAN – ALL EIGHT CIRCULATE do a SINGLE HINGE

SCOOTBACK across – SWING and PROMENADE the ring

When the weather's fine - We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea

 

(We're always happy, life's for livin', yeah - that's our philosophy)

If her daddy's rich - take her out for a meal

                            SWING your Girl and PROMENADE - just do what you feel

                                - We'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down

 

 

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

 

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 an' twenty-five
When the sun goes down - You can make it, make it good in a lay-by

 


 

We're no threat, 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 fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy - Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy

 


 

Sing along with us - Dee dee dee-dee dee
Dah dah dah-dah dah - Yeah we're hap-happy
Dah dah-dah - Dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah
Dah-do-dah-dah-dah - Dah-dah-dah do-dah-dah – – – Alright ah

 


 

When the winter's here, yeah it's party time
Bring your bottle, wear your bright clothes - It'll soon be summertime
And we'll sing again - We'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down
If she's rich, if she's nice - Bring your friends and we'll all go into town
