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 she said goodbye, to her man, she missed the ship even though she ran,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.
Yeah she had to sail, across the sea, so she booked a trip on an old ferry,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

Well the captain saw the girl on to the quay,
But he still sailed away,
There were no more boats for another week,
And she had no place to stay.

Yeah her man had gone, she didn't know where, so she stole a dinghy from a yacht somewhere,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.
The sea was rough, the weather was bad,
But she kept on rowing 'till she got to France,
And she rowed, ah didn't she row.

Well she travelled so fast caused such a stir,
The people came from miles around,
To see the girl who stole a boat,
When she missed her ship in town.
