Lyrics:

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’, and the cotton is high.
Oh, you daddy’s rich, and your ma is good lookin’
So hush, little baby don’t you cry.

One of these mornin’s, wou goin’to rise up singin’,
Then you’ll spread your wings, and you’ll take the sky,
But ‘till that mornin’, there’s a notin’can harm you,
With daddy and mammy standin’by.
