When the sun in the mornin' peeps over the hill And kisses the roses 'round my window sill Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill Of those birds in the tree tops on mockin' bird hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee There's peace and goodwill You're welcome as the flowers on the mockin' bird hill
[Instrumental Interlude]
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill And survey all my kingdom while everything's still Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill Singing songs in the twilight on mockin'bird hill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee it gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning to the mockin' bird's trill Tra-la-la, tweedlee dee dee There's peace and goodwill You're welcome as the flowers on the mockin' bird hill
