Mockingbird

Everybody have you heard? (Have you heard?)
He's gon' buy me a mockingbird (a mockingbird)
Well now, if that mockingbird don't sing (bird don't sing)
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring (a diamond ring)
And if that diamond ring don't shine (it don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (this heart of mine)
And that's why (oh, yeah) I can't tell him that sad thing (yeah, yeah, ho-ho-ho)

Oh, I know, I love him and I can't tell him so (a mockingbird)
That I, I, I, I love him and that's all he doesn't know, he doesn't know (a diamond ring)
If that diamond ring don't shine (it don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (this heart of mine)
And that's why (that's why) I can't tell him that sad thing (yeah, yeah, ho-ho-ho)

Oo-oo, everybody have you heard? (Have you heard?)
He's gon' buy me a mockingbird (a mockingbird)
Said now, if that mockingbird don't sing (it don't shine)

He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (this heart of mine)
And that's why (yes, you do) I can't tell him that sad thing (yeah, yeah, ho-ho-ho)

I know that I, that I love him and I can't tell him so (mockingbird)
That I, I, I, I love him and it's all he doesn't know, he doesn't know (diamond ring)
If that diamond ring don't shine (it don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (this heart of mine)

Everybody have you heard? (Have you heard?)
He's gon' buy me a mockingbird (a mockingbird)
Said now, if that mockingbird don't sing (it don't shine)
