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've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung,
I've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung,
And I'm gonna sing ya this dust pneumonia song. 

I went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "My son,"
Yes, I went to the doctor and the doctor said, "My son,
You got that dust pneumonia and you ain't got long." 

Now there ought to be some yodelling in this song,
There ought to be some yodelling in this song,
But I can't yodel for the rattling in my lung. 

My good girl sings the dust pneumonia blues,
My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues,
She loves me but she's got the dustpneumonia too. 

If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust,
If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust,
I can't find a woman in this black old texas dust. 

Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong,
Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong,
If you want to get in, mama, just sing a california song. 

Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain,
Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain,
I throwed a bucket o' dirt in her face just to bring her back again.
