[Verse 1]

Summertime, and the living is easy

Fish are jumping

And cotton is high

Your daddy's rich

And your ma is good looking, mmhmm

So, hush, little baby

Don't you cry


[Interlude]

{*hums the melody of Verse 1 over again*}


[Verse 2]

One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing

Then, you'll spread your wings

And take to the sky

But until that morning

There is nothing can harm you – no, no, no

With Daddy and Mommy standing by

Hmmmm, hmm, hmm, hm, hmm


[Outro]

{*humming until fade-out*}
