Summertime Songtext
von Pearl Bailey

Summertime and the livin′ is easy
Fish are just jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich and your ma is good-lookin′
So why don't you just hush, little baby, don't you cry


One of these mornin′s you′re gonna rise up singin'
Then you′ll just spread your wings and take to the sky
But 'til that mornin′ there ain't nothin′ can harm you
Why? Well, 'cause your daddy and mommy they're standin′ by

(One of these mornin′s) One of these mornin's
(You′re gonna rise up singin') You′ll just rise up singin'
(Then you′ll spread your wings) Yes, and you'll spread your wings
(And you'll take to the sky) Take off, take off way up to the sky
(But ′til that mornin′, that mornin'
, That mornin′) But 'til that mornin′
(There's nothin′ can harm you) Nothin' can harm you
Why? 'Cause your daddy and mommy they′re standin′ by
