When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill
And kisses the roses 'round my window sill
Then my heart fills with gladness as I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetop on Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tra la la lee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la, tra la la lee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
(Yodeling)
Got a three corner plow and an acre to till
A mule that I bought for a ten dollar bill
There's a tumbledown shack and an old rusty mill
It's my home sweet home up 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
It's my home sweet home upon Mockingbird Hill
Tra la la, tra la la lee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning
To the mockingbird's trill
Tra la la, tra la la lee
There's peace and good will
You're welcome as the flowers
On Mockingbird Hill
