    mock yeah
    ing yeah
    bird yeah
    yeah yeah
    mockingbird

    everybody have you heard
    he’s going to buy me a mockingbird
    well now if that mockingbird don’t sing
    he’s going to buy me a diamond ring
    and if that diamond ring don’t shine
    he’s going to surely break this heart of mine
    and that’s why i can’t tell him that sad thing

    oh i know i love him and i can’t tell him so
    that i i i i love him and that’s all he doesn’t know he doesn’t know
    if that diamond don’t ring don’t shine
    he’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
    and that’s why i can’t tell him that sad thing

    oh oh oh ooh ooh everybody have you heard
    he’s going to buy me a mockingbird
    said now if that mockingbird don’t sing
    he’s going to buy me a diamond ring
    if that diamond ring don’t shine
    he’s going to surely break this heart of mine
    and that’s why i can’t tell him that sad thing

    oh i know that i i love him and i can’t tell him so
    that i i i i love him and it’s all he doesn’t know he doesn’t know
    if that diamond don’t ring don’t shine
    he’s gonna surely break this heart of mine
    and that’s why i can’t tell him that sad thing

    oh oh oh everybody have you heard
    he’s going to buy me a mockingbird
    said now if that mockingbird don’t sing
    he’s going to buy me a diamond ring
    if that diamond ring don’t shine
    he’s going to surely break this heart of mine
    and that’s why i can’t tell him that sad thing
    oh oh oh i everybody have you heard
    he’s going to buy me a mockingbird
    said now if that mockingbird don’t sing
    he’s going to buy me a diamond ring
