Summertime

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1: Joni Mitchell]

Summertime, and the living is easy

Fish are jumping out

And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich and your mama's so good looking

So, hush little baby, don't you cry

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2: Joni Mitchell]

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise rise up singing

Spread your wings and take to the sky

But until that morning

Ain't no one's gonna harm you

Not with your daddy and mommy standing by

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3: Joni Mitchell]

Summertime, and the living is easy

Fish are jumping

And the cotton is high

Your mama's rich and your daddy's so good looking

So, hush little baby, don't you cry

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4: Joni Mitchell]

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise rise up singing

Spread your pretty little wings and take to the sky

Oh, but 'til that morning

Ain't no one's gonna harm you

Not with your daddy and mammy standing by

[Outro: Joni Mitchell]

Summertime
