Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Mommie's good looking
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .
 


One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's nothing can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standing by . . .


 
Summertime...
