Lookah down yonder
don’t forget the wonder
Jem’s treasures hidden in my room,
Boo Ridley left them hiding on a hole
Come, Scout let’s find some more
With Dill Harris let’s have some fun
and together let’s wander out of home.
Let’s find Tom Robinson’s street,
the one full of colored happy kids.
There’s something in the air
not only playing with Scout’s hair
Is something else, something dark
cuz Tom was just shot in the back.
Tried to fight was done Mr. Finch,
it was summer, it was hot, it was all green
Calpurnia made me cook the eggs
“you’re a girl” aunt Alexandra says
All I want is to see my dad on his chair.
The trial went longer, no way we’ll lose
Atticus did his best and the case was closed.
They thought Tom is only black
obviously something in him is bad
let’s send him to the closed jail to die.
For defending we almost lost our lives
his family was forgotten and left aside
mockingbirds don’t harm, just sing
is so good, so bad, I can’t forget a thing.
There’s a lesson to be learned,
you’ll have to hear the end
Tom and Arthur are the same
they’re the victims of the show
just some misunderstood souls
with the story we can learn to grow.
