In the summertime when the weather is high,
                     
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
          A                
when the weather is fine, you got women, 
                          E 
you got women on your mind.     
       B7                
Have a drink, have a drive, 
A                             E 
go out and see what you can find.

      E 
If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal,
                  
if her daddy's poor, just do as 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.

           E 
We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean,
                    
we love everybody but we do as we please.
      A                  
When the weather is fine, 
                                      E 
we go fishing or go swimming in the sea.      
                B7     
We're always happy,
            A                                E
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

       E

When the winter's here, yeah, it's party-time, 
                                     
bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes, it'll soon be summertime.
           A                                              E 
And we'll sing again, we'll go driving or maybe we'll settle down.    
      B7                     
If she's rich if she's nice, 
           A                            E 
bring your friend and we will all go into town.
