Mockin' Bird Hill lyrics
Patti Page
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill.
When the sun in the morning
Peeps over the hill,
And kisses the roses 'round my windowsill,
Then my heart fills with gladness
When I hear the trill
Of the birds in the treetops on Mockin' Bird Hill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill.
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird 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 Mockin' Bird Hill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
It gives me a thrill
To wake up in the morning to the mockingbird's trill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill.
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill.
Tra-la-la, twiddly-dee-dee
There's peace and goodwill.
You're welcome as the flowers on Mockin' Bird Hill
