mockingbird hill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

it gives me a thrill

to wake up in the morning

to the mockingbird's trill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

there's peace and goodwill

you're welcome as the flowers on the mockingbird hill

when the sun in the morning

peeps over the hill

and kisses the roses 'round my window sill

then my heart fills with gladness

when i hear the trill

of the birds in the treetops on mockingbird hill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

it gives me a thrill

to wake up in the morning

to the mockingbird's trill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

there's peace and goodwill

you're welcome as the flowers on the mockingbird hill

got a three-cornered plow

and an acre to till

and a mule that i bought for a ten-dollar bill

there's a tumble-down shack

and a rusty old mill

but it's my home sweet home up on mockingbird hill

tra la la

tweedle dee dee dee

it gives me a thrill

to wake up in the morning

to the mockingbird's trill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

there's peace and goodwill

you're welcome as the flowers on the mockingbird hill

when it's late in the evening

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 mockingbird hill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

it gives me a thrill

to wake up in the morning

to the mockingbird's trill

tra la la

twiddle-dee dee-dee

there's peace and goodwill

you're welcome as the flowers on the mockingbird hill
