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 peace of mind

And if that peace 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
