Summertime

Summertime and the livin’ is easy

Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry

One of these mornings, you’re goin’ to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings , and you’ll take the sky
But till that morning ,there’s a nothin’ can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin’ by ...

(Lyrics by DuBose Heyward)
