Lyric Summertime

(Duboise Heyward, George & Ira Gershwin)

Summertime and the livin is easy
Fish are jumpin and the cotton is fine
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...
