Johnny is a joker (he's a bird)
|
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
|
But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog)
|
His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
|
Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my honey (he's a bird dog)
|
|
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
|
He sings the sweetest love song (ya ever heard)
|
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
|
To me he's just a wolf dog (on the prowl)
|
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby (he's a bird dog)
|
|
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
|
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
|
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
|
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
|
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
|
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
|
|
Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)
|
He tiptoed up to reach her (he's a bird)
|
Well he's the teacher's pet now (he's a dog)
|
What he wants he's been gettin' now (what a dog)
|
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he's a bird dog)
|
|
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
|
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
|
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
|
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
|
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
|
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
