Mockin’ Bird Hill

Lyrics

[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
