Everybody, have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mocking bird
Well, now, you said mockingbird don't sing
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring don't shine (it don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
And that's why (oh, yeah) I keep on tellin' it
Say a thing, (yeah, yeah), oh-oh-oh, (yeah, yeah)

I, I know I love him and I can't tell him so (I can't tell him)
That I, I, I, I love him and it's true he doesn't know (he gon' buy me)
He doesn't know (a diamond ring)

And if that diamond ring don't shine (it don't shine)
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine (this heart of mine)
And that's why (that's why) I keep on tellin' it
Say a thing, (yeah, yeah), oh-oh-oh, (yeah, yeah)

Everybody, have you heard? (Have you heard?)
