Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime

In the summertime when the weather's high,
you can stretch right up and touch the sky,
when the weather's fine,
you got women, you got women on your mind.

Have a drink, have a drive,
go out and see what you can find.

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal.
If her daddy's poor, just do as you feel.
Speed along the lane,
Do a ton, or a ton and twenty-five.
When the sun goes down, you can make it,
make it good in a lay-by.

We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean.
We love everybody, but we do as we think.
When the weather's fine
we go fishing or go swimming in the sea.
We're always happy,
life's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
Da-da-da-da-da...Yeah, we're happy happy,

da-da-da-da-dah.

When the winter's here, then it's party time.
Bring a bottle, wear your bright clothes.
It'll soon be summertime, and we'll sing again,
we'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down.
If she's rich, if she's nice,
bring you're friends and we'll all go into town.

Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting burnt and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city
Dressed so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing at the bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it's a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl
Come-on come-on and dance all night
Despite the heat it'll be alright

And babe, don't you know it's a pity
That the days can't be like the nights
In the summer, in the city

In the summer, in the city

Summer Breeze - Seals & Croft (yikes, I feel old...

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, fatima, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities.

There are some really good summertime songs, but I'll have to choose "Summer in the City" by the Lovin' Spoonful.
Brings back memories and it's a snappy tune.

Now our local DC Metroland weather report

~ Today...Sunny...Hot with highs in the upper 90s.
Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight...Partly cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms. A chance of showers.
Lows in the lower 70s. South winds around 5 mph...
Becoming west around 5 mph after midnight.
Chance of rain 40 percent.

Thinking cool thoughts. Like...why can't I be lying on a beach somewhere?
Or, wish I was at the pool instead of in the office.

Geez, I'm almost caught up on my work so that I'm not under pressure
but Monday, I start all over again.
Work is definitely picking
so that I don't know when I'll get to the Canteen
or how long I can stay. boo hoo.

Time to make my rounds. But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...
I'll tell Ma!

WE ARE

Come in. Sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
