It's summertime
and the living is easy
The bees 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
One of these mornings
you're gonna wake up singing
Then you're gonna spread your wings and take to the sky
But till 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 bees 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
