LYRICS: When the sun in the morning peeps over the hill And kisses the roses 'round my window sill Then my heart fills with gladness when I hear the trill Of the birds in the treetops on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee It gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning To the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee There's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers On Mockingbird Hill Got a three-cornered plow and an acre to till And a mule that I bought for a ten-dollar bill There's a tumble-down shack and a rusty old mill But it's my Home Sweet Home up on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee It gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning To the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee There's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers On Mockingbird Hill When it's late in the evening I climb up the hill And survey all my kingdom while everything's still Only me and the sky and an old whippoorwill Singin' songs in the twilight on Mockingbird Hill Tra la la, tweedle dee dee dee It gives me a thrill To wake up in the morning To the mockingbird's trill Tra la la tweedle dee dee dee There's peace and good will You're welcome as the flowers
