ご訪問の際には、こちらまでぜひ一言おねがいします。★
WHEN THE SUN IN THE MORNING PEEPS OVER THE HILL,
AND KISSES THE ROSES  'ROUND MY WINDOW SILL.
THEN MY HEART FILLS WITH GLADNESS AS I HEAR THE TRILL,
OF THE BIRDS IN THE TREE TOPS ON MOCKIN' BIRD HILL.

 
TRA-LA-LA-LA, TRA-LA-LA-DEE-DEE,
IT GIVES ME A THRILL,
TO WAKE UP IN THE MORING TO
THE MOCKIN' BIRDS TRILL.
TRA-LA-LA-LA, TRA-LA-LA-DEE-DEE,
THERE'S PEACE AND GOODWILL,
YOU'RE WELCOME AS THE FLOWERS,
ON MOCKIN' BIRD HILL.

 
WHITMAN YODEL
GOT A THREE-CORNED PLOW AND AN ACRE TO TILL,
A MULE THAT I BOUGHT FOR A TEN DOLLAR BILL.
THERE'S A TUMBLE-DOWN SHACK AND AN OLD RUSTY MILL,
IT'S MY HOME SWEET HOME UP ON MOCKIN' BIRD 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 WHIPPORWILL,
IT'S MY HOME SWEET HOME ON MOCKIN' BIRD HILL.

 
TRA-LA-LA-LA, TRA-LA-LA-DEE-DEE,
IT GIVES ME A THRILL,
TO WAKE UP IN THE MORING TO
THE MOCKIN' BIRDS TRILL.
TRA-LA-LA-LA, TRA-LA-LA-DEE-DEE,
THERE'S PEACE AND GOODWILL,
YOU'RE WELCOME AS THE FLOWERS,
ON MOCKIN' BIRD HILL.

 
1951年に歌われた曲です
