Lyrics

Summertime, the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich, and your ma is good-lookin'
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 take to the sky
Until that mornin'
Nothin', no, nothin's gonna harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich, and your ma, she's so good-lookin'
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Written by: Dorothy Heyward, Dubose Heyward, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
