Bird Dog
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(Spoken) Mind the doors. Hit the drums..
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 joking ain't so funny (he''s a dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
Johnny sings a love song (like a dicky-bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
To me he's just a love dog (on the prowl)
Johnny wants to fly away and bugaloo my baby (he's a bird dog)
Chorus
Hey bird dog get away from my quail
He bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you'd better leave my lovey dove alone
Hey bird dog get away from my chick
Hey bird dog better get away quick
Bird dog you'd better find a chicken little of your own
Johnny kissed the teacher (naughty boy)
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 bird dog)
Break
Chorus
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 joking ain't so funny (he's a dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
