Summer time, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Ooh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable to read
In the Bible, it ain't necessarily so
I'm preaching this sermon to show, it ain't necess-
, Ain't necess-, ain't necess-, ain't necessarily
I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you, if you can keep, if you can keep me, I wants
To stay here with you forever, and I'd be glad
Someday I know he's comin' back to call me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me
But when he calls me, I know I have to go
Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, whee, bow, bow, whee, bow, bow, whee
Bow, bow, bow, whee
I loves you, Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and drive me mad
If you can keep me, I wants to stay
Here with you forever, and I'd be glad
Morning time, evening time, summer time, winter time
