Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Sing A Song Of Summer

If you go looking down in the summer

To the village at the bottom of the well

You'll find nice things and butterflies' wings

And policemen's hats as well

The girlies there won't hurt you

'Cause they're all so very nice

There's cats and dogs and bats and frogs

And little pink sugar mice.

So come along and sing of summer

Sing of summer coming on

Come along and sing of summer

Summer's coming on

Summer's coming on.

And won't you wear your silly trousers

And your funny feathered hat

To come home running down the road

Follow the Cheshire cat

Your friends they will all be there

And they will all be taking tea

So come on laughing down the road

Come on follow me.

Come along and sing of summer

Sing of summer coming on

Come along and sing of summer

Summer's coming on

Summer's coming on.

Won't you leave behind your city shoes

And lose your bowler hat

Forget about your winter woes

And wipe your eyes on the mat

Won't you leave your green wallpaper

And the clock upon the wall

And lock your doors up one by one

Come running down the hall.

Come along and sing of summer

Sing of summer coming on

Come along and sing of summer

Summer's coming on

Summer's coming on.

And if you go looking down in the summer

To the village at the bottom of the well

You'll find nice things and butterflies' wings

And policemen's hats as well

The ladies there won't hurt

Cos they're all so very nice

There's cats and dogs and bats and frogs

And little pink sugar mice.

So come along and sing of summer

Sing of summer coming on

Come along and sing of summer

Summer's coming on

Summer's coming on

Summer is a coming on.
