Once each year
The sun breaks clear
Of the cloud that clutters our skies
Great British leisure
Is a belt of high pressure
Make hay where the warm front lies!
Hear the field-birds singing
Hear the church bells ringing
As the cricket ball pitches in spin
Watch the fern trees swaying
See the children playing
When the English summer rolls in
Neighbours gather over hedges
Lovers make pledges
Gamblers win
It’s a heat-haze dope
Like a tangible hope
When the English summer rolls in
Dogs chase buses
A policeman fusses
You can see his patience wear thin
Park life’s a bustle
Icecream vans hustle
When the English summer rolls in
Families clamour
For seaside glamour
Let promenade strolls begin!
Watch the marching bands
While milling on the sands
When the English summer rolls in
Blink and you’ll miss it
No time to elicit
Long plans for a season of sin
You can see for miles
When the weatherman smiles
When the English summer rolls in
You couldn't fair better
My word, to the letter
Than be lost to the populous din
Of a country house glen
With my fellow countrymen
When the English summer rolls in
