Little children did I tell you how the mockingbird
|
Called the animals together try to say a few words
|
But the squirrels began to chatter and the bees began to buzz
|
Just the way it is, just the way it was
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
|
Now everybody's talking but it makes no sense
|
Used to be a tree, now it's a picket fence
|
|
With the wild trees gone and no place to go
|
They put 'em in a zoo next to the monkey show
|
You can protest swinging on the garden gate
|
Mockingbird tried to warn you but it is too late
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
What can I say? Oh what can I say?
|
|
He ain't gonna fight to say his peace
|
Ah just the way it was, just the way it is
|
|
Talk to yourself on your cordless phone
|
Watch TV you see celebrities
|
You got to sit outside if you want to see stars
|
Used to swing through the trees but now they're monkey bars
|
What can I say? I mean, really, what can I say?
|
Oh what can I say? Oh what can I say?
|
|
Now everybody's talking but it makes no sense
|
Used to be a tree, now it's a picket fence
|
Oh he ain't gonna fight to say his peace
|
Just the way it was, just the way it is
|
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
What can I say? What can I say?
|
What can I say?
|
