What Happened In The Summer Time 1915

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 Apr 2005

Ev'ryone's happy in the bright summer time,
bright summer rays make happy days
if you are single, if you have a wife,
you make the most of life
in the Summer time!
You meet a girlie, such a sweet little miss,
give her a kiss fancy it's bliss,
there in a shady spot,
you never think of what
that might mean to you!

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
All the summer time you bill and you coo,
all the winter you are just looking blue,
you're afraid of your life,
someone's telling your wife,
what happened in the summer time!

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
All the summer time you bill and you coo,
all the winter you are just looking blue,
you're afraid of your life,
someone's telling your wife,
what happened in the summer time!

Down by the sea a little flapper you meet,
murmur: "How do?" she smiles at you,
you take her strolling
gaze into her eyes,
she looks at you and sighs.
Oh! Give over, George!
No one about, so you take her on your knee,
ask her if she your wife will be,
she makes a grab at you,
but in a month or two,
Breach of Promise case.

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
Judge says: "Twenty thousands pounds you must pay,"
You say: "Twenty, that's a trifle hot, eh?"
he says: "Don't you talk rot,
why it's not half so hot
as what happened in the summer time!"

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
Judge says: "Twenty thousands pounds you must pay,"
You say: "Twenty, that's a trifle hot, eh?"
he says: "Don't you talk rot,
why it's not half so hot
as what happened in the summer time!"

You go to Paris in the gay summer time,
on busi'ness you go there, that's true,
something in costumes for your firm go to buy,
one or two catch your eye,
Oh! La very chic!
Mannequins there you see,
and one is divine,
take her to dine, plenty of wine,
call her your peach and pet,
your little wife forget,
but you take my word.

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
Wife says: "Hubby, while you were in Paree,
each day Cousin Willie popped in to tea,"
Then you're bound to confess
that it's your turn to guess
what happened in the summer time!

When the summer time is over Oh! Oh!
That is the time, that is the time
when the thought comes to you,
what you did to Sue,
what Sue did to you!
Wife says: "Hubby, while you were in Paree,
each day Cousin Willie popped in to tea,"
Then you're bound to confess
that it's your turn to guess
what happened in the summer time!
