E    A  E  B  A  E  w/ chh chh-chh, uh           (mélodie infernale)

In the summertime when the weather is hot
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 turn or return the twenty-five

  When the sun goes down
  You can make it, make it good and really fine

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 fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea

  We're always happy
  Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy

Sing along with us dee dee dee-dee dee
Dah dah dah-dah dah yeah we're hap-happy
Dah dah-dah
Dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah

  Dah-do-dah-dah-dah                             w/ Alright
  Dah-dah-dah do-dah-dah

E    A  E  B  A  E  w/ chh chh-chh, uh

When the winter's here, yeah it's party time
Bring your 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
