Ella Fitzgerald - Summertime (Live At Mister Kelly's) Lyrics
Summertime, and the livin' is easy.
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's rich, and your ma is good-looking.
So, hush, little baby, baby, don't you cry.
You're gonna spread your wings and you'll take to the sky.
But 'til that morning, there's nothin' can harm you.
With Daddy and Mammy—Mammy standin' by.
Summertime, and the livin' is easy.
Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good-looking.
So be quiet, keep still, shh.
Hush, little baby, don't you cry.
One of these mornings you're gonna wake up singing.
You're gonna spread your wings and you'll take to the sky.
But 'til that morning, there's nothing can harm you.
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by.
They say, "Summertime. The living's easy."
What makes it easy? You have to go out and work.
So, you go out and you do a day's work.
It's so warm, it's so hot, you perspire.
Yes, you perspire, and you perspire.
What you get? Perspiration.
But you don't mind it because it's summertime and the living's easy.
So, you say, "I think I'd go down—, let's go—, let's go and dig a real cool sounds at Mr. Kelly's."
You come at Mr. Kelly's and you taste a while.
Yes, daddy, you drink a while.
When you drink, what you get? The check!
You don't mind it 'cause it's summertime, living's easy.
What do you care?
Your daddy's rich, you got a good-looking mother.
Look, imagine everybody with a good-looking mother and a rich daddy. Ho, ho!
Summertime. That's what the song says. The living's easy.
Ha, ha, ha, oh, yeah, ha, ha.
Summertime.
Summertime.
Summertime, and the living is easy.
