Summertime for us living species
Fish and pumpkins and the cotton and I
A beverage and a chocolate pudding
I don't have rabies or pink eye

Summertime and the pasta is cheesy
Wish for something, I've forgotten just why
I had a fridge and pajamas good-looking
Hush up and maybe you'll beautify.

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
Hush little baby, don't you cry.
