Letra de
In The Summertime

In the Summertime foi escrita e composta por Ray Dorset, vocalista da banda britânica Mungo Jerry. A música foi gravada em 1970 e se tornou um dos maiores sucessos da banda, marcando o verão daquele ano. A canção é famosa por sua melodia alegre e otimista, refletindo a vibe despreocupada dos dias de verão. Foi uma das faixas de estreia da banda e ajudou a definir o som único de Mungo Jerry, que mistura rock, folk, e blues.

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 bad 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 sailing in the sea.
We're always happy,
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Sing along with us, da da di di di
Da da da da, yeah we’re happy
Da da da, di di di di di 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 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 and we'll all go into town.

In the summertime, when the weather is high,

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 bad 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 sailing in the sea.
We're always happy,
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Sing along with us, da da di di di
Da da da da, yeah we’re happy
Da da da, di di di di di da da da
Da da da da da,
da da da da-da da
