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