Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high
[Verse 2]
Well, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good looking
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
[Verse 3]
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
[Verse 4]
But until that morning
There ain't nothing gonna harm you
With daddy and mammy
Standing by
[Verse 5]
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
And I know you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky, whoa, yeah
[Verse 6]
Yeah, until that morning
There ain't nothing, no, nothing's gonna harm you
With daddy and mammy
Standing by
[Verse 7]
Summertime
Summertime
(Summertime, summertime)
