Summer time an' the livin' is easy, Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high. Oh, yo' daddy's rich, and yo' ma' is good-lookin', So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.

Deep, unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state.

The way you wear your hat, The way you sip your tea, The mem'ry of all that -- No, no! They can't take that away from me!

Life is one long jubilee.

Holding hands at midnight 'Neath a starry sky... Nice work if you can get it And you can get it -- if you try.

S wonderful! 'S marvelous! That you should care for me!

I got rhythm, I got music, I got my man- Who could ask for anything more?
