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 mornin's you're gonna
rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and
you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a
nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
< instrumental break >
But 'till that mornin' there's a
nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .
Standing by . . .
