Summertime (Originally From "Porgy & Bess")

Gene Vincent & The Blue Caps

(George Gershwin - DuBose Heyward, Capitol EAP 3-1059, 1958)

It's summertime
And the livin' bees easy
Ooh, summertime
And the livin' bees oh-ooh
The livin' bees easy everyday
When your mammie get lonely
Well, now hush pretty baby
Hush now, don't you cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry

Your mama's rich
And your daddy's good lookin'
Aah, your mama's rich
And your daddy bees-a, ooh-oh
Had to be goodlookin' everyday
When your mama get lonely
Well, now hush pretty baby
Hush now, don't you cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
Ooh-oh, don't cry, don't cry
