In the good old summertime,
in the good old summertime,
Strolling through the shady lanes
with your baby mind.
You hold her hand and she holds yours,
and that's a very good sign.
That she's your tootsie -wootsie
in the good ol' summertime
There's a time in each year
that we always hold dear
Good ol' summertime
With the birds and the trees
and the sweet scented breezes
Good ol' summertime
When your day's work is over
and you are in clover
And life is one beautiful rhyme
No trouble annoying,
each one is enjoying
the good ol' summertime.
In the good ol' summertime.
In the good ol' summertime.
Strolling through the shady lanes
with your baby mind.
You hold her hand and she holds yours
and that's a very good sign.
And she's your tootsie -wootsie
in the good old summertime.
To swim in a pool,
you'd play hooky from school,
the good old summertime.
You'd flaring a rosy with Jim,
Kate and Josie,
the good old summertime.
Those days full of pleasure,
we now fondly treasure,
when we never thought it a crime.
To go stealing cherries,
with face brown as berries,
The good old summertime.
In the good old summertime,
In the good old summertime,
And I'll be your queen while we're strong,
Strolling through the shady lanes,
With your baby mind.
You hold her hand,
And she holds yours,
And that's a very good sign,
That she's your tootsie -wootsie
in the good ol' summertime,
in the good ol' summertime.
