Would be for me.. the first
line of this song..
Summer time and the living
is easy, fish
are jumpin'...... forgetting
the rest of the song..
But for those who want to
know the rest of the
words written by Ira and
George Gershwin and
Du Bose Heyward.... before a
lot of us were born.
Summertime and the livin'
is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornin's,
you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin', there is nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mummy, Mummy standing by
Don't you, don't you cry
Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that mornin', there is nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mummy, Mummy standing by
Don't you, don't you cry
And can you believe it was
sang by all of these singers?
Paul McCartney
Ella Fitzgerald.
Grateful Dead
Janis Joplin
Ella Fitzgerald, I can
understand..and of course every
actress who sang in Porgy
and Bess
but Janis Joplin?
Grateful Dead?
Paul McCartney?
Anyway, as I was sitting out
on the porch yesterday
morning.. this tune keep
coming back in my head..
which is a little nerve
wracking when you don't know the
rest of the song.. (now I
do)...
What song is in your head at
this time of the year..
Maybe George Evans and Ren Shields
In the good old summer time,
In the good old summer time,
Strolling thro' the shady lanes
With your baby mine;
You hold her hand and she holds yours,
And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsie wootsie
In the good old summer time.
Tootsie Wootsie? and we complain about
the kids of todays songs.. lol...
