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, triddly -diddly, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
to the mockingbird's trill
Tra -la -la, triddly -diddly,
that's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers
on Mockingbird Hill
Got a three -cornered plow
and an acre to till
And a mule that I bought for
a three -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, trilly -dilly, it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
to the Mockingbird's trill
Call -a -la, trill -dee -dee,
there's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers
on Mountain Bud 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, trill -dee -dee -dee,
it gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
to the mockingbird's trill
Tra -la -la, trill -dee -dee -dee,
there's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers
on Mockingbird Hill
You're welcome as the flowers
on Mockingbird Hill.
