Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' In ancient myth pubs float everywhere In inflammable places in between Hammersmith and the Deep South Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' I set out for a quest from the Great God Kieron Who sits a la Bowie Tryin' to find the mythical Guinness factory in South London, in Hammersmith Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Why don't you stop playing on Stratford Bridge Why don't have you use some of those clothes yourself And let the grass grow on itself In ancient myth the public houses floated everywhere Inflammable places between Hammersmith and the Deep South But many could not find it And the fishermen did dredge And those fishermen looked out over Stamford Bridge And they saw the green grass And they reflected Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' You have to see, to make the mercenaries stow And the white haired male nurses, with the afro- rocker in adjacent chair, knew the key And the words were "Get a Summer song goin'" Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin' Get a summer song goin'
