Summertime
Continue singing in tune
When the cuckoo stops, late June
Take up the strain
And pray for rain
Then we’ll have a boon
Is our rainfall on the wane?
‘Cos the drought has caused such pain
We’ll need hours and hours
In gentle showers
For the butts to fill again
The summer blooms will rejoice
Just listen to their voice!
Some ring a bell
Or have a wondrous smell
Depending on your choice!!
