Mock (yeah) ing (yeah) bird (yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Mockingbird everybody, have you heard?
(Have you heard?)
He's gonna buy me a Mockingbird
Oh, if that Mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don't shine
He's gonna surely, break this heart of mine
And that's why, I keep tellin him that's exactly

Whoa, ho, ho, I, all I know is I, I, I, I know
I do what I can
To let him know, that I, I, I, I, love him
And he's got, he's got to go
But, if I must go, he's got to take, a mistaken
Love,
That's why, I can't tell you that's exactly
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I know, is I, I, I, I know
That he knows that I care
And I, I, I, I know that he knows, he starts cryin'
Cause if that bird don't sing and ring don't shine
He's so sad, that's why, I can't tell you that exactly
Whoa, whoa....

Repeat (2)
