   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 sayin'
  
   Wo wo wo wo
  
   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 sayin'
  
   Wo wo wo
