Summertime

after Gershwin's song from Porgy and Bess

---

Summertime 

and the cost of livin' ain't easy

Bills are jumpin'

and prices are high

Oh, the bosses are rich

and the workers are strugglin'

But hush, little baby

don't you cry

One of these mornin's,

you're going to wake up strikin'

Spread the action,

raise the union flag high

Until that mornin',

we're preparing the pickets

Your workmates and comrades standin' by
