(by Tom Waits)



Mockin' bird, high in the tree

Looks like you've got the best of me

Mockin' bird, singing a song

Well, mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone

Mocki'n bird, on top of my roof

Blowin' notes on top of my roof

Mockin' bird singing a song

Well, mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone

Mockin' bird, high in the tree

I'm looking up at you, you're looking down at me

Mockin' bird, singing a song

Well, the mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone

Throw up some papers, try to scare him away

Look down at me, this what he says. . .

Mockin' bird, high in the tree

Looks like you've got the best of me

Mockin' bird, singing a song

Well, the mockin' bird is mocking me now that you're gone
