Verse:

There's a time in each year that we al - ways hold dear:

Good Old Sum - mer Time.

With the birds and the trees - es and sweet scent - ed breez - es:

Good Old Sum - mer Time.

When your day's work is ov - er, then you are in clov - er,

And life is one beau - ti - ful rhyme.

No troub - le an - noy - ing, each one is en - joy - ing the

Good Old Sum - mer Time.

 

Chorus:

In The Good Old Sum - mer Time.

In The Good Old Sum - mer Time.

Stroll - ing down the sha - dy lanes

With your ba - by mine.

You hold her hand and she holds yours,

And that's a ve - ry good sign,

That she's your "Toot - sie Woot - sie" in the
Good Old Sum - mer Time.
