Summertime



Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush, little baby,
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky

But until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy ‎
standing by.
