Lyrics

It's the summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin', yeah
So hush, little baby, and don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
Spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But until that moment
There is nothin' gonna harm you
Your mommy and daddy are standin' by
'Cause one of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singing
Spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But until that moment
There is nothin' gonna harm you
Your mommy and daddy are standin' by
