paroles de chanson Summertime - Live (1958/Chicago) - Ella Fitzgerald

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, baby don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning
There ain't nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mommy, Mommy standin' by
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 be quite keep still shh
Hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornings, one of these mornings you're gonna wake up singing
You're gonna spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
But 'til that morning
There ain't nothing can harm you with Daddy and Mammy standin' by
They say summertime, the living's easy
What makes it easy? You have to go out and work
So you go out and you do a day's work
It's so warm, it's so hot, you perspire
Yes, you perspire, and you perspire
What do you get? Perspiration
But you don't mind it because it's summertime and the living's easy
So, you say
"I think I'd go down, let's, let's go down and dig a real cool sounds at Mr. Kelly's."
You come at Mr. Kelly's and you taste a while
Yes, daddy, you drink a while
When you drink, what you get? The check!
You don't mind it 'cause it's summertime, living's easy
What do you care?
Your daddy's rich, you got a good-looking mother
Imagine everybody with a good-looking mother and a rich daddy, ho, ho!
Summertime, that's what the song says, living's easy
Ha ha ha, oh yeah
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime, and the living is easy
(Thank you)
