MOCKINGBIRD BLUES
Don't bite that hand that feeds you
Don't steal those words right out of my mouth
You know I’d love to believe you when you say you’d never let me down
Don’t mock on me, Mr. Mockingbird, you old crow

Don’t hangout by my window

It ain’t no place to get your daily news
You know that just because I’m a happy man doesn’t mean I can’t sing the blues
Don’t mock on me, Mr. Mockingbird, you old crow

​I hear you talking, sound more like squawking to me, you know it do

You ain’t no nightingale just an old crow to me
Woo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

Let me tell you one more time 

I hear you talking, sound more like squawking to me
You know it do baby
You ain’t no nightingale just an old crow to me
Woo, ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

​Don’t eat, don't drink nor be merry

If all you plan to do is rain on my parade
You know ever since you’ve come around here baby 
I haven’t seen a blue sky for days
Don’t mock on me, Mr. Mockingbird, you old crow
Don’t mock on me, Mr. Mockingbird, you old crow
Don’t mock on me, Mr. Mockingbird, just leave me alone
