Sung by Dave Diamond with Donna Jean and the Tricksters
[Sensitise], walking down the street
Like I got dancing feet, pumping rock a beat
Everybody's wearing [holly-headed] clothes
All the pretty girls walk around in droves
(Here in the summertime)
Here in the summertime
(Here in the summertime)
Go on young boy, coming off the bus
Making their dreams come true, to be one of us
Bar crawls, street brawls, howling through the night
Jump freaks, water main leaks, under the Broadway lights
(Here in the summertime)
Here in the summertime
(Here in the summertime)
Sing it again, sing it again
(Here in the summertime)
Ain't it tru, ain't it true
(Here in the summertime)
Back now, it's green lights, under thunder sky
Jack-hammers through the night, enough to make you cry
South winds up here, down Second Avenue
With all the lights a-flashing, red white and blue
All stopping freaks, yeah, on Fifth Avenue
Wanna get the credit, gang, 'cause that's what they do
Helmets, protest in Washington Square
Smell the freedom in the air
(Here in the summertime)
Here in the summertime
(Here in the summertime)
(Here in the summertime)
(Here in the summertime)
