Inez & Charlie Foxx Mockingbird Lyrics:
[Charlie:] Mock-
[Inez:] Yeah.
[Charlie:] -ing-
[Inez:] Yeah.
[Charlie:] -bird
[Inez:] Yeah.
[Charlie:] Yeah.
[Inez:] Yeah.
[Both:] Mockingbird.

[Charlie - all verses:]
Everybody, have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird don't sing,
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring don't shine,
It sure will break this heart of mine.
Yes indeed-o, oh, yes indeed-o,
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah.

[Inez - 1st verse:]
Everybody, have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird.
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing, yeah,
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring.
And if that diamond don't shine,
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine.
That's why I can't tell him that's exactly,
Ho-ho-ho, I know-a ever...

[Inez - 2nd verse:]
I, I, I, I know
What I can let him know,
That-a I, I, I, I love him.

And it's something he's got to know.
But I don't know he's got to take or mistake this love.
And that's why I can't tell him that's exactly,
Ho-ho-ho, I know-a ever...

[Inez - 3rd verse:]
I, I, I, I know that
He knows that I care,
And-a I, I, I, I know that
He knows he's no good,
But both of us have some heart that-a
Keeps up love.
That's why I can't tell him that's exactly,
Woh-ho-ho, I know-a-oh-a,

[Inez - 4th verse:]
Everybody, have you heard?
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird.
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing, yeah,
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring.
And if that diamond don't shine,
He's gonna surely break this heart of mine.
That's why I can't tell him that's exactly,
Hoh-ho-ho, I know-a-oh-a

[Inez - 5th verse:]
Everybody, have you heard?
[Fade.]
He's gonna buy me a mockingbird.
Oh, if that mockingbird don't sing, yeah,
He's gonna buy me a diamond ring...
