Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
Remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.
