"Summertime" from Porgy and Bess

“Summertime” from Porgy and Bess
Music by George Gershwin
Lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin

Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-looking
So hush little baby, don't you cry

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

But 'til that morning, there's a-nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by.
