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 going to wake up singing

There you're going to spread 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
