Lyrics

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 singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standing by
By
Written by: Dorothy Heyward, Dubose Heyward, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
