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 baby (he's a birddog)

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 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 birddog)

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 can get now (what a dog)

He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he's a birddog)

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
