Lyrics
Mock (yeah)
Ing (yeah)
Bird (yeah)
Yeah (oh yeah)
Mockin’ bird now
Everybody, have you heard
He’s gonna buy me a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird don’t sing
He’s gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring don’t shine
Surely break this heart of mine
And that’s why I keep on tellin’ everybody
Say yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Hear me now and understand
He’s gonna buy me some peace of mind
And if that peace of mind don’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 I keep on shoutin’ in your ear
Say yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh
Now everybody, have you heard
She’s gonna buy me a mockingbird

Yeah, I might rise above, I might go below
Ride with the tide and go with the flow
And that’s the reason why I’m shoutin’ in your ear
