Papa's gonna buy you a mocking bird,
And if that mocking bird won't sing,

Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring,
And if that diamond ring is brass,

Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass,
And if that looking glass get broke,

Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat,
And if that billy goat won't pull,

Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull,
And if that cart and bull turn over,

Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover,
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,

Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart fall down,

You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
