[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
