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 won't shine (He's gonna surely break
this heart of mine)
And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody.....
Hear me now and understand (He's gonna find me some piece
of mind)
And if that piece of mind won'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.....
Everybody have you heard (She's gonna buy me a mockingbird)
And if that mockingbird don't sing (She's gonna buy me a diamond
ring)
And if that diamond ring won't shine (Gonna surely break this heart
of mine)
And that's the reason why I keep on tellin' everybody...
Listen now and understand (She's gonna find me some piece
of mind)
And if that piece of mind won't stay (I'm gonna get myself
a better way)
I might rise above, I might go below (Ride with the tide and go
with the flow)
And that's the reason why I keep on shouting in your ear...
