Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Yo' daddy's rich and yo' mama's good lookin' So hush little baby, don't you cry
One of these mornin's you gonna rise up singin' You gonna spread your little wings and you'll take to the sky But 'till that mornin' there ain't nothin' gonna harm you With yo mama and daddy standin' bye
Now it's summertime and the livin' is easy Them fish are jumpin' and the cotton's 'bout waist high Yo' daddy's rich and, 'ya know yo' mama's good lookin' Now hush little baby, don't you cry
