Mock - (Yeah)
Ing- (Yeah)
Bird- (Yeah)
Yeah- (Yeah)
Mockingbird,

Everybody have you heard
(Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
(He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing yeah
(If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
(He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine
(If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
(Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly,
(Yeah, yeah)

Whoa I, know, I know I do what I can to let him know
(Everybody have you heard, he’s gonna buy me a mockingbird)
That I, I love him and he's got, he's got to go
(If that mockingbird don't sing, he’s gonna buy me a diamond ring)
But, if I must go, he's got to take, a mistaken love
(If that diamond ring don’t shine, sure will break this heart of mine)
That's why, I can't tell you that's exactly whoa, whoa, whoa
I know, is I, I know that he knows that I care
And I, I know that he knows, he starts crying,
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....
(Yes, it will, yes, it will, yeah, yeah…)

Everybody have you heard- (Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
(He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing yeah
(If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
(He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine
(If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
(Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly,

Everybody have you heard
(Have you heard)
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
(He's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing yeah
(If that mockingbird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
(He's gonna buy me a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine
(If that diamond ring don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
(Surely will break this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep telling him that's exactly,
