    ~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

    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 summer I met my wife on the beach in San Diego

    Greeen Eyed Lady, lovely lady
    Strolling slowly towards the sun

    Green eyed lady ocean lady
    Soothing every wave that comes

    Green eyed lady, passion's lady
    dressed in love she lives for life to be

    Green eyed lady feels like I never see
    Setting suns and lonely lovers free

    (Organ solo)
    (long instrumental break)

    Green eyed lady, windswept lady
    moves the night the waves the sand

    Green eyed lady ocean lady
    child of nature, friend of man

    Green eyed lady passions lady
    dressed in love she lives for life to be

    Green eyed lady feels like I never see
    Setting sons and lonely lovers free

    Summer is all about the Parrot Heads

    As the son of a son of a sailor,
    I went out on the sea for adventure,
    Expanding their view of the captain and crew
    Like a man just released from indenture.

    As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man,
    I have chalked up many a mile.
    Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks,
    And I've learned much from both of their styles.

    Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
    Son of a gun; load the last ton
    One step ahead of the jailer.

    Now away in the near future, southeast of disorder,
    You can shake the hand of the mango man
    As he greets you at the border.

    And the lady she hails from Trinidad,
    Island of the spices.
    Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet,
    And the rum is for all your good vices.

    Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our
    Forefathers harnessed before us.
    Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings.
    It's a son of a gun of a chorus.

    Where it all ends I can't fathom, my friends.
    If I knew, I might toss out my anchor.
    So I'll cruise along always searchin' for songs,
    Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker.

    But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
    Son of a gun, load the last ton
    One step ahead of the jailer
    I'm just a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
    The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains.
    I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer.
