Written by Erik de Vahl · Music: George Gershwin · Lyrics: Dorothy Heyward, DuBose Heyward, Ira Gershwin
Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing You're gonna spread your wings and away you'll fly But 'til that morning, nothin' will harm you With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your ma, your ma is good-lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry
Summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime...
