Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's right, you got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy, life's for livin', yeah, that's our philosophy
[Refrain]
Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee
Da-dee-da-da-da, yeah, we're hap-happy
Da-da-da, dee-da-da-dee-da, dee-da-da
Da-dee-da-da-da, da-da-da, dee-da-da
[Verse 4]
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 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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 fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy, life's for livin', yeah, that's our philosophy
[Refrain]
Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee
Da-dee-da-da-da, yeah, we're hap-happy
Da-da-da, dee-da-da-dee-da, dee-da-da
