Mother, mother, have you heard?
Poppa's going to buy me a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird don't sing
Poppa's going to buy me a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring don't shine
Poppa's going to buy me a bottle of wine.
If that bottle of wine gets broke
Poppa's going to buy me a billy goat.
If that billy goat runs away
Poppa's going to buy me a Chevrolet.
If that Chevrolet don't run
Poppa's going to buy me a BB gun.
If that BB gun don't shoot
Poppa's going to buy me a bathing suit.
If that bathing suit don't fit
Poppa's going to say,'The heck with it!'
Sugar on a doughnut, yum, yum.
