Mockingbird — by Little Miss Ann
LYRICS:
Be your own bird. Nobody looks like you
Be your own bird, there ain’t nobody that sings like you
Mockingbird, why do you imitate me? (x3)
I’m a sparrow. I’m an eagle
I’m an owl. Whoooo’s that imitating me?
Be your own bird. Nobody looks like you
Be your own bird, there ain’t nobody sings like you
Mockingbird, why do you imitate me? (x3)
I’m a bluebird. I’m a jaybird.
I’m an owl. Whoooo’s that imitating me?
