Lyrics
Everybody have you heard?
Expressing a question to a general audience.
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird
Anticipation of receiving a mockingbird as a gift.
And if that mockingbird won't sing
If the mockingbird doesn't sing, an alternative plan is mentioned.
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring
Promising a diamond ring if the mockingbird plan fails.
And if that diamond ring won't shine
If the diamond ring doesn't shine, there's a consequence mentioned.
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine
Expressing the emotional impact if the previous plan fails.
And that's why I keep on tellin' ev'rybody, sayin'
Explaining the reason for the continuous communication.
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
Hear me now and understand
Calling for attention and comprehension.
He's gonna find me some peace of mind
Expectation of finding peace of mind.
And if that peace of mind won't stay
If peace of mind doesn't last, seeking an alternative.
I'm gonna find myself a better way
Commitment to finding a better way if needed.
And if that better way ain't so
If the better way isn't successful, a willingness to adapt.
I, I, I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow
Expressing flexibility to navigate challenges.
And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear sayin'
Reiterating the reason for vocal communication.
Wo, wo, wo, wo, wo
Repetition for emphasis or emotional expression.
Everybody have you heard?
Repeating the initial question to a general audience.
