In the Good Old SummertimeNat “King” Cole

(Doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo)

In the good old summertime
In the good old summertime
Strollin' through the shady lanes
With my baby mine
I hold her hand and she holds mine
And that's a very good sign
That she's my tootsie wootsie
In the good old summertime

(In the good old summertime)
(In the good old summertime)
(You'll find you're) Strollin' down a shady lane
With my baby mine
(I hold her hand and he holds mine)
And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsie wootsie
In the good old summertime

(Down a shady lane)
In the good old summertime
(With my baby mine)
In the good old summertime

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
