Lyrics

Mock- (yeah) -Ing (yeah) Bird (yeah) Yeah (yeah) Mockingbird now Hey everybody, have you heard? He's gonna buy me a mockingbird And if that mockingbird won't sing He's gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine He's gonna surely break this heart of mine And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody Saying (yeah, yeah) whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-oh Hear me now and understand He's gonna find me some piece of mind And if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna find myself a better way And if that better way ain't so I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's why (yes, indeed oh) I keep on shoutin' in your ear Saying (yeah, yeah) whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-oh Well, now everybody, have you heard? She's gonna buy me a mockingbird, yeah And if that mockingbird don't sing She gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine Yes, it surely break this poor heart of mine And that's the reason why I keep on tellin' everybody Saying (yeah, yeah) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Listen now and understand She's gonna find me some piece of mind, yeah And if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna get myself a better way I might rise above, I might go below Ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's the reason why I keep on shouting in your ears, yo No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, baby, yeah
