Oh remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for his supper, baby
Yes he used to sing for his supper, babe
He used to sing so sweet since my baby left me
He ain't sang in two long days

Oh remember the bluebirds and the honey-bees
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes they used to sing for the flowers
They used to sing so sweet, but 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
So baby if you'll please come home again
You know I'll kiss you for my supper
You know I'll kiss you for my dinner, babe, yeah

But 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
Come on, baby, hurry up now
Can you hear me calling you back again now
Come on back, come on back in my arms
I'll make everything that's better
You got to remember, you got to remember our love
Come on, baby, stop jiving around, hurry home.
