Haydn Quartet — In the Good Old Summer Time

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 your 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
