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
