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

fade he's a bird
