Lyrics
- Said Claudie to Maudie, “Now where shall we go
In the summer time?”
Said Maudie to Claudie, “Don’t spend all your dough
In the summer time
We need all we’ve got for a house and a lot
And if you don’t mind
A suggestion I’ll make and we’ll make no mistake
“In the summer time
Chorus:
Take a car, take a car
Wherever you go take a car
It beats all your hansoms and automobiles
If you’re out for pleasure
That travels on wheels
Take a car, take a car
No matter how near or how far
In daylight or twilight
In starlight or skylight
“All-on “ding-ding!” take a car
- Now Claudie and Maudie got married one day
In the summer time
It’s Coney and Brighton, or Far Rockaway
In the summer time
She’s not satisfied just to take a car ride
When the weather’s fine
Altho’ often she sighs, he will only reply
“In the summer time
