Tra la la, twit-tle-dee dee-dee  
-5   4   -2 -3  3 
it gives me a thrill 
6   -6  -5 -4 -3   3   -4
To wake up in the morn-ing  
-5 -6   6    4   -3      3
to the mock-in’ bird's trill.

And kiss-es the ros-es  
  -6   6   5  -3   3
'round my win-dow sill; 
 3   -2   2     3    4    6    4
Then my heart fills with glad-ness  
 3  -2  -3   4   -6
when I hear the trill

Of the birds in the tree-tops
