Mockingbird Lyrics

Artist: Carly Simon
Album: Mockingbird

Mock (yeah)
ing (yeah)
bird (yeah)
yeah (yeah)
Mockin'bird, now


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
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh

Hear me now and understand
He's gonna find me some piece of mind
And if that piece 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
Say yeah, yeah whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, uh, oh



Now, everybody have you heard
She's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Yeah if that mockingbird don't sing
She's gonna buy me a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring won't shine
Yes, it'll surely break this heart of mine
And there's a reason why I keep on tellin' everybody
Say yeah, yeah no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Listen now and understand
She's gonna find me some piece of mind
Yeah 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
And that's the reason why I keep on shoutin' in your ear...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, now, now. baby

I love the version on Dumb and Dumber! It cracks me up every time! It's a great song to sing at a Kereoke for fun and giggles! Definately one for people who have a good sense of humour!

Well, the song is just fun. I can't see why it can be the third song on the "Best of Carly Simon" album.

I love it. Brings back memories and that is what old songs are supposed to do. A much simpler time back then.

Am I the only person who's reminded of the movie Vacation?
by Barnaby on 2/9/2013 9:36am
re: National Lampoon's Vacation - LOL, yep every time I hear this song I think of Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase singing this song in the car, while the kids are trying not to throw up in the backseat!
