Listen to the Mockingbird is a Barney song that first appeared in "Barney's Sense-Sational Day". Although the tune is the same as the original song, the lyrics change from being about a man longing for his deceased girlfriend (who is buried with the mockingbird) to the sweet sounds from a mockingbird. An underscore of this song is played in "Five Kinds of Fun!".
Lyrics[]
- I hear a song from above me,
- in the treetops; oh, so lovely!
- When I hear that bird sing so sweetly,
- then I just want to whistle right along.
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- She sings a song to us from way above.
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- A whistling tune that we all really love.
- The song that makes me so happy.
- Makes my heart sing. Feel like dancing.
- When I hear that bird sing so sweetly,
- then I just want to whistle right along.
- Listen to the Mockingbird *whistles*
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- She sings a song to us from way above.
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- Listen to the Mockingbird
- A whistling tune that we all really love.
- A whistling tune that we all really love.
