~Favorite Summertime Song~





Eric Burdon and War - Spill the Wine (1970)

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

I was once out strolling one very hot summer's day
When I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
in a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun and felt it caressing my face

And I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie

This really blew my mind, the fact that me,
an overfed, long-haired leaping gnome
should be the star of a Hollywood movie

But there I was, I was taken to a place, the hall of the mountain kings
I stood high upon a mountain top, naked to the world
In front of every kind of girl, there was
black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones...

Out of the middle came a lady

She whispered in my ear something crazy
She said:

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]

I thought to myself what could that mean
Am I going crazy or is this just a dream

Now, wait a minute
I know I'm lying in a field of grass somewhere
so it's all in my head
and then.. I heard her say one more time:

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

[spoken:]
I could feel hot flames of fire roaring at my back
As she disappeared, but soon she returned
In her hand was a bottle of wine, in the other, a glass
She poured some of the wine from the bottle into the glass
And raised it to her lips
And just before she drank it, she said:

[sung:]

Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl
Spill the wine and take that pearl, Spill the wine and take that pearl

Sunshine Superman - Donovan

Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while

You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine

I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends

When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!

A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting a way to oh oh the summer night

Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp

I saved her life she nearly drown
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights

Tell me more tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more tell me more
Did she put up a fight?

It turned colder that's where it ends

So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but oh those summer nights

Tell me more, tell me more

The Drifters - Under The Boardwalk

Oh when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof.
And your shoes get so hot, you wish your tired feet were fire-proof.
Under the Boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be.

(Under the Boardwalk)
Out of the sun.

(Under the Boardwalk)
Man, we'll be having some fun.
(Under the Boardwalk)
People walkin' above.
(Under the Boardwalk)
We'll be falling in love under the Boardwalk,

Boardwalk.

From the palms you hear the happy sounds of the carousel,

and you can almost taste the hot-dogs and french fries they sell.
Under the Boardwalk, down by the sea
on a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be.

(Under the Boardwalk)
Out of the sun.
(Under the Boardwalk)
Man, we'll be having some fun.
(Under the Boardwalk)

People walkin' above.
(Under the Boardwalk)
We'll be falling in love under the Boardwalk,

Boardwalk.

Under the Boardwalk, down by the sea
On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be.

Under the Boardwalk, down by the sea

On a blanket with my baby, is where I'll be.

Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime

In the summertime when the weather's high,
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 as you feel.
Speed along the lane,
Do a ton, or a ton and twenty-five.

When the sun goes down, you can make it,
make it good in a lay-by.

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

Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
Da-da-da-da-da...Yeah, we're happy happy,
da-da-da-da-dah.

When the winter's here, then it's party time.
Bring a 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 you're friends and we'll all go into town.

MargaritaVille

Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.

Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason,

Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
But it's a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,

Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville

Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault.

BRYAN ADAMS SUMMER OF 69

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled
was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
shoulda known we'd never get far

oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you yeah

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no,yeah

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
oh when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life, oh yeah

Back in the summer of 69,uh-huh
it was the summer of 69,o yeah, me n my baby in 69
It was the summer of, the summer, summer of 69

The Jamies

It's summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime, summertime

Well, shut them books and throw 'em away
And say goodbye to dull school days
Look alive and change your ways
It's summertime

Well, no more studying history
And no more reading geography
And no more dull geometry
Because it's summertime

It's time to head straight for them hills
It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball
A regular or free-for-all

Well, are you comin' or are you stayin
You saw it first and I won't complain
Hurry up before I change
It's summertime

Well, I'm so happy that I could flip
Oh, how I'd love to take a trip
I'm sorry teacher but zip your lip
Because it's summertime

It's time to head straight for them hills
It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball
A regular or free-for-all

Well we'll go swimmin' every day
No time to work just time to play
If your folks complain just say
It's summertime

And every night we'll have a dance
'Cause what's a vacation without romance
Oh man this jive gets me in a trance
Because it's summertime

It's time to head straight for them hills
It's time to live and have some thrills
Come along and have a ball
A regular or free-for-all
It's summertime

It's summertime, summertime
Sum, sum summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Sum, sum, summertime
Summertime

It's summertime

The Doors-Summer’s almost gone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ88V1PFXH0

[sausageseller]

Summertime is finally here
That old ballpark, man, is back in gear
Out on 49
Man I can see the lights

School’s out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain’t seen in a while
And can’t help but smile

And it’s two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ‘cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime

Temperature says 93
Down at the Deposit Guaranty
But that swimmin’ hole
It’s nice and cold

Bikini bottoms underneath
But the boys’ hearts still skip a beat
When them girls shimmy off
Them old cutoffs

And it’s two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ‘cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime

The more things change
The more they stay the same
Don’t matter how old you are
When you know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout
Yeah baby when you got

Two bare feet on the dashboard
Young love and an old Ford
Cheap shades and a tattoo
And a Yoo-Hoo bottle rollin’ on the floorboard

Perfect song on the radio
Sing along ‘cause it’s one we know
It’s a smile, it’s a kiss
It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime
Sweet summertime

Evening fatima, Hugs.

In before the last post.

Under the Boardwalk is one of the best songs ever..period.

[Clemenza]

Thanks, although I should state that I noticed a typo/brainfart. I originally misheard the lyric “I’ll be there in the countryside” as “Huggy bear in the countryside.”

[exit82]

Instrumental: A Summer Place—Henry Mancini

Vocal: See You in September

[Radix]

Summertime child and the livings easy
Catfish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your momma’s good looking
so child don't you cry.

One of these mornings child your gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings and fly.
Until that morning Honey nothing is gonna harm you baby
nothing is ever gonna let you down
Baby baby baby, no no no don't you cry.

Porgy & Bess
