       E
In the summertime, when the weather is high,
 
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
         A                                                    E
when the weather's fine, you got women, you got women on your mind.
       B7
Have a drink, have a drive,
A                           E
go out and see what you can find.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       E
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal,
 
if her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.
       A                                           E
Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-five.
         B7
When the sun goes down,
        A                             E
you can make it make it good in a lay-by.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
          E
We're not bad people, we're not dirty, we're not mean,
 
we love everybody but we do as we please.
         A                                                  E
When the weather's fine, we go fishing or go sailing in the sea.
             B7
We're always happy,
           A                               E
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

And we'll sing again, we'll go driving or maybe we'll settle down.

If she's rich, if she's nice,
