Lyrics

Summertime an’ the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’, and’ the cotton is high
Oh yo’ daddy’s rich, an’ yo’ ma is good lookin’
So hush, little baby, don’ yo’ 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 an’ Mammy standin’ by
