Mungo Jerry

Mungo Jerry is a British rock group whose greatest success was in the early 1970s, though they have continued throughout the years with an ever-changing line-up, always fronted by Ray Dorset. They are remembered above all for their hit "In the Summertime". It remains their most successful and most instantly recognisable song, and their only hit outside of the UK. Their name was inspired by the poem "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer", from T. S. Eliot's Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. According to Joseph Murrell's The Book of Golden Discs (1978), "Mungomania" was possibly the most startling and unpredicted pop phenomenon to hit Britain since The Beatles. more »

I'm a hard working Stranger, Stranger here in town
I'm a hard working stranger and I don't mess around
I'll be leaving here one morning, leaving on the steam drive train
I'm gonna find me a lover and get my pay check through

I don't want no trouble, I don't want no fights
But when I'm up against it, I stand up for my rights
I'm a hard working stranger, I'm a stranger here in town
Don't nobody bug me, don't you ever make me blue

I aint no lawbreaker, I don't take no risks
Always get the job done and then I get my kicks
Oh I'm a hard working stranger, Stranger here in town
I'm leaving here one morning, and on that train I'm bound

I don't want no trouble, I don't want no fights
But when I'm up against it, I stand up for my rights
I'm a hard working stranger, I'm a stranger here in town
I'm leaving here one morning, and on that train I'm bound
