[B] There are certain [A] musical comedy and motion picture scores that will [Em] always live in the
memories of those who saw the operetta or the picture.
One of these memorable scores is, I think, the one George Gershwin did for the grand
American [D#] opera, Forgey and Bess.
Axel's made a wonderful setting for [C#] some of these tunes, [D#] and here it is.
It's [C#] summertime
[D#] [Em] [F#m] and the living [Em] is easy.
[D#]
[C#] [D#] [C#] [C] Fish are jumping and the cotton [G] [B] is high.

[B] [F] Oh, [Em] your daddy's [F#m] [Em] rich [D#] and your ma is good [Em] looking.

[Dm] [G] But [C] with plenty of plenty, got a lock [E] on the door.
I pray [A] somebody's a-gonna rob them while they're down to [C#] making more.
[G]
[C] But, [G] but, ain't got no lock on the door, that's no way to be.
They can steal the rug from the floor, that's okay with [Am] me.
Cause the king's got a price, and [D] the blondie's got a fee.
But [C] I've got plenty of money and nothing's [G] plenty for me.
[E] I've got [B] my gal, got my [E] song, and heaven's the [C#] holy law.
