Dear Suzanna,

the lyrics you quoted are a little confusing, nevertheless they remind me
of a 70s song by Harpo. Since you seem to come from the Netherlands as well,
maybe you mean that one.

Best regards,
Steffen

Harpo Dutch? Maybe that wasn't what you meant, but he was and is still
Swedish...

The Jamies had a hit with "Summertime Summertime" in both 1958 and
1962. I think that's the one you're looking for.

Your lyrics perfectly fit the song
"Summertime Summertime" by Hobby Horse.
The record was issued in 1972 and produced by Tony Visconti, who had
worked with David Bowie and T. Rex (among many others). The then
famous Mary Hopkin ("Those Were The Days") who mas married to Tony
Visconti can be heared on the mentioned record.

Hope this helps.

Franz.

It is, I think, a 70's song... I thought it was by a group similar to Sha na
na or something.... but I could be confused about that...
Thanks for all your respnses so far,

Suzanna

Whether he's Swedish or Dutch or anything else, he wasn't the one
who originated this song. It was a top 40 hit in 1958 for a group
called The Jamies.

Lyrics World should have the lyrics.

This must have been a cover of the original, which was
a hit for The Jamies in 1958.

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
Say goodbye to a dull schoolday
So come on and change your ways it´s summertime
No more studyin´ history
And no more readin´ geography
And no more dull geometery 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 free for all It´s summertime

Well it´s summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime Summertime

Well are you comin´ or are you nay
No time to work just time to play
If your folks complain just say it´s summertime
Well I´m so happy that I could flip
Oh how I love to take a dip
I´m sorry teacher but zip your lip 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 free for all It´s summertime

Well it´s summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime
Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime Summertime
