Summertime
Summertime, and my liver's easen
Another bottle to the sky
My daddy's gonna risk, my momma's bad cookin'
So hush, little baby, otherwise you will fry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up stinging
All these mosquitoes, don't help you get by
But when you're scratchin', ain't no-one will claim you
Even daddy and mammy who are standin' by
Another bottle to the sky
My daddy's gonna risk, my momma's bad cookin'
So hush, little baby, otherwise you will fry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up stinging
All these mosquitoes, don't help you get by
But when you're scratchin', ain't no-one will claim you
Even daddy and mammy who are standin' by
