Mockingbird

Lyricist: J. Taylor/C. Simon
Vocalist: Dave Katz

Mock (yeah) 
ing (yeah) 
bird (yeah) 
yeah (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 won't shine 
He's gonna 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 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 
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh 



Now, everybody have you heard 
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird 
Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing 
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring 
And if that diamond ring won't shine 
Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine 
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody 
Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 

Listen now and understand 
She's gonna find me some piece of mind 
Yeah 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 shoutin' in your ear... 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now. baby
