Summertime, an' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high
Oh, yo daddy's rich an' yo' ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornin's, you goin' to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky
But till that mornin', there's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by

Summertime, an' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high
Oh, yo daddy's rich an' yo' ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
