[Verse 1]
When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses by my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill
Of those birds in the tree tops on Mockin' Bird Hill
[Chorus]
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, there's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on the Mockin' Bird Hill
[Post-Chorus]
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ee-la-ooh-ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Got a three cornered plow and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
There's a tumbledown shack and a rusty ol' mill
But it's my home sweet home up on Mockin' Bird Hill
[Chorus]
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, there's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on the Mockin' Bird Hill
[Post-Chorus]
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ee-la-ooh-ooh
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
When it's late in the evenin' I climb up the hill
And survey all my kingdom while everything's still
Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill
Singing songs in the twilight on Mockin' Bird Hill
[Chorus]
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill
Tra-la-la, tweedlee-dee-dee, there's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on the Mockin' Bird Hill
[Post-Chorus]
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ah-ooh
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ooh-ah
Tweedlee-dee-dee, ee-la-ooh-ooh
