Summertime....and the livin’ is easy 
Fish are jumpin’...and the cotton is high 
Yo’ daddy’s rich...and yo’ mama’s good-lookin’ 
So hush little baby......don’t you cry 

One of these mornin’s..you gonna rise up singin’ 
You gonna spread your little wings...and you’ll take to the sky 
But ’till that mornin’...there ain’t nothin’ gonna harm you 
With daddy and mama... standin’ bye 

(instrumental break) 

Now it’s summertime....and the livin’ is easy 
Them fish are jumpin’...and the cotton’s ’bout waist high 
Yo’ daddy’s rich...and, ya know yo’ mama’s good-lookin’ 
Now hush little baby......don’t....you cry 

Yo’ daddy’s rich...and, ya know yo’ mama’s good-lookin’ 
Now hush little baby......don’t....you cry 

summertime....and the livin’ is easy 
Them fish are jumpin’...and the cotton’s ’bout waist high 
Yo’ daddy’s rich...and, ya know yo’ mama’s good-lookin’ 
Now hush little baby......don’t....you cry 

oh,baby......don’t....you cry (repeat)
Summertime....
