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 »

Well we used to go down there every Saturday night,
The kids were pretty tough and they knew how to fight,
Some were pretty young and some were pretty old,
They knew all there was to know about rock'n'roll,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms

Well, the fellers wore leathers and some wore drapes,
The chicks were real cool and they had what it takes,
In their tight tight sweaters and tight tight jeans,
They looked real cool and the fellas looked mean,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms

Every night when the air was getting hot,
They'd move so fast you otta see them rock,
They'd go outside and jump on their bikes,
Rev 'em right up and roar into the night,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms

If you get the chance to move down there,
Let yourself go, let down your hair,
If you want to move to the rock'n'roll,
They'll show you how to do it, show you how it goes,
They used to pop pills, drink beer, they did no harm,
The kids are alright down the Northcote Arms
