 In the field a -- cross the way;
 The near -- est thing to hea -- ven on
 This sim -- me -- ry sum -- me -- ry day.
 I'm gon -- na be la -- zy like a dai -- sy
 In the mid -- dle of Ju -- ly;
 And watch the pret -- ty black -- birds in the sky.
 Ho, hum... I'm sim -- mer -- in' in the sun.
 I'm the luck -- y one, it's true.
 Ho, hum... I'm sim -- mer -- in' in the sun.
 Oh, how I wish I could be there with you.
