It's summertime and the living is easy

The fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking

Won't you hush, pretty baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings, you're going to wake up singing

Then you're going to spread your wings and take to the sky

But 'til that morning, ain't nothing going to harm you

With your mommy and daddy there standing by

It's summertime and the living is easy

The fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking

Won't you hush, pretty baby, don't you cry
