Well, I'll throw in my two cents. I always heard that Summertime Dream line as "Time for a summer shower". And re Talking In Your Sleep, the Corfid posting claiming Rick Haynes explained it as "Take a potato" may be correct, but I, like Char, always heard it as "Take him or leave him". (By the way, here in southern Australia, after 12 years of drought, it's always time for a summer shower. We hardly even get winter showers now.)
