Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

(well) your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now
(and) don't you cry

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

(and) your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now
Don't you cry

One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings
And take to the sky

But til that mornin'
Ain't nothin' can harm you
(ain't nothin' can harm you)
With your daddy and mammy
Standin' by

It don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing
If you ain't got that swing (*)

Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

(well) your daddy's rich
And your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby now
Don't you cry
