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, tweedle dee dee dee
     It gives me a thrill
     To wake up in the morning
     To the mockingbird's trill
     Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee
     There's peace and good will
     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 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 tweedle dee dee dee
     There's peace and good will
     You're welcome as the flowers
     On 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
     Singin' songs in the twilight 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 tweedle dee dee dee
     There's peace and good will
     You're welcome as the flowers
     On Mockingbird Hill
