Coral Island/Summertime
Dorothy Heyward, Du Bose Heyward, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you reach for the sky
Until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So 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 reach for the sky
Until that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With your family standing by
