Johnny is the 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 (What a dog) Johnny is the joker that's been trying to steal my baby (He's a bird dog)
Johnny sings a love song (Like a bird) He sings the sweetest love song (You ever heard) But when he sings to my gal (What a howl) To me it'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 tip-toed 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
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
