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 going
to rise up singing,
Then you'll spread your wings,
and you'll take to the sky,
But till that morning, there's
a-nothin' can harm you,
With daddy and mammy standin' by.
