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
(instrumental break)
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
