Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your momma's good-looking So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky,(and you'll fly) Until that morning there ain't nothing can harm you With mommy and daddy standing by
Baby, baby, don't be this way when you know how I try I know that you're gonna be crying(so what?) If I should ever wanna tell you goodbye Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you, Anything you want me to, anything my baby girl Summertime of loving, summertime all over the world
In the history of jazzing there's a mystery, imagine for a moment with me If all we had was the verse to repeat and rehearse perfectly It wouldn't mean a thing with that swing, just a song without rhyme, You've got to believe in that sound It's the summertime of music, Turning the groove around
People keep on leaning Soldiers keep on warring World keep on turning 'Cause it won't be too long, Summertime, summertime, Yeah we're gonna find Higher Ground!
Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your momma's good-looking So hush, little baby, don't you cry
