Hey everybody, have you heard?

He's gonna buy me a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won'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

Saying (yeah, yeah) whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, whoa-oh

Hear me now and understand

He's gonna find me some piece of mind

And if that piece of mind won't stay
