The Hazy Days of Summer, Summertime, And the - -

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

* Words from, Summertime", an aria composed by George Gershwin for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess. The lyrics are by DuBose Heyward, author of the novel Porgy on which the opera was based.  All lyrics can be found here.  One of my favorite songs, it sings on and on in my mind and heart.
