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 yo Mama and Daddy...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

Summertime....

Ah said it's summertime
