"In the Good Old Summer Time" is an American Tin Pan Alley song first published in 1902 with music by George Evans and lyrics by Ren Shields.

Shields and Evans were at first unsuccessfully trying to sell the song to one of New York's big sheet music publishers. The publishers thought the topic of the song doomed it to be forgotten at the end of the summer season. Blanche Ring, who had helped Evans arrange the number's piano score, was enthusiastic about it and at her urging it was added to the 1902 musical comedy show "The Defender" she was appearing in. The song was a hit from the opening night, with the audience often joining in singing the chorus.

"In the Good Old Summer Time" was one of the big hits of the era, selling popular sheet music and being recorded by various artists of the day, including John Philip Sousa's band in 1903. It has remained a standard often revived in the decades since.

The song appeared in many films, including the 1949 Judy Garland film named after it; "In the Good Old Summertime". The book Elmer Gantry opens with the title character drunkenly singing the song in the saloon.

The score is made freely available by the SPEBSQSA (Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America) here:

LYRICS:
There's a time in each year
That we always hold dear,
Good old summer time.
With the birds in the trees'es
And sweet scented breezes,
Good old summer time.
When your day's work is over
Then you are in clover,
And life is one beautiful rhyme.
No trouble annoying,
Each one is enjoying,
The good old summer time.

In the good old summer time,
In the good old summer time,
Strolling through the shady lanes
With my baby mine.
You hold her hand and she holds yours
And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsie wootsie
In the good old summer time.

In the good old summer time!
