Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for his supper baby
Yes, he use to sing for his supper babe
He used to sing so sweet, but since my baby left me
He ain't sang in two long days.
Oh, remember the blue birds and the honey bees
They used to sing for the sunshine.
Yes, they used to sing for the honey
They used to sing so sweet
But-a, since my baby left me
They ain't sang in two long days.
Hey! Pretty baby, come on back to me.
Make everybody happy as can be
Yeah
So baby, if you'll please come home again,
you know I'll kiss you for my supper, yeah
You know I'll kiss you for my dinner baby, yeah
But-a if you don't come back
You know I'll have to starve to death
'Cos I ain't had one kiss all day now
Please remember, you got to remember
Yeah,you got to remember our love
Come back, come on back in my arms
I'll make everything that better
Come on baby, hurry up now
Can you hear me calling you back
Come on baby, stop jiving around
Hurry home, hurry home
