Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama, she's good looking
So hush little baby, there's no need for you to cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And then you're gonna spread your little wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning don't worry, nothing gonna harm you
With your daddy and mommy they'll be standing by

Summertime

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
And then you're gonna spread your little wings and you'll take to the sky
But till that morning comes don't worry, nothing gonna harm you
With your daddy and mommy, they'll be standing by
Standing by, standing by, they'll be standing by your side

Well it's summertime and the livin' is easy
I said the fish are jumping and the cotton is high
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singin'
You're gonna spread all your wings and you' gonna take to the sky
Don't you worry little baby 'cause mama and daddy are gonna
Be standing by your side, summertime
