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 Summertime.... Ah said it's summertime
