Summertime.

And the living is easy.

The fish are jumping And the cotton is high Your daddy's rich

And your ma is good looking So hush little baby Baby do

One of these mornings

And you take to the sky But till that morning

There's nothing can harm you Where Daddy and Mommy stand

Don't you come
