Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your momma's good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornin's
Your gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And you take the sky
Until that mornin'
There is nothin' can harm you
Daddy and mommy
Are standin' by

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your momma's good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry

Livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And mmmmm…
One of these mornin's
Your gonna rise up singin'
With daddy and mommy standin'
Don't you cry
