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
