Lyrics

 * Itgost song.png in Remy's Truck Stop]]There's a time in each year
 * That we always hold dear,
 * Good old summer time;
 * With the birds and the trees-es,
 * And sweet scented breezes,
 * Good old summer time,
 * When you day's work is over
 * Then you are in clover,
 * And life is one beautiful rhyme,
 * No trouble annoying,
 * Each one is enjoying,
 * The good old summer time.


 * In the good old summer time,
 * In the good old summer time,
 * Strolling thro' the shady lanes
 * With your baby mine;
 * You hold her hand and she holds yours,
 * And that's a very good sign
 * That she's your tootsie wootsie
 * In the good old summer time.


 * To swim in the pool,
 * You'd play "hooky" from school,
 * Good old summer time;
 * You'd play "ring-a-rosie"
 * With Jim, Kate and Josie,
 * Good old summer time,
 * Those days full of pleasure
 * We now fondly treasure,
 * When we never thought it a crime
 * To go stealing cherries,
 * With face brown as berries,
 * Good old summer time.


 * In the good old summer time,
 * In the good old summer time,
 * Strolling thro' the shady lanes
 * With your baby mine;
 * You hold her hand and she holds yours,
 * And that's a very good sign
 * That she's your tootsie wootsie
 * In the good old summer time.
