Lyrics:

Johnny is a joker [heÂ's a bird)]
A very funny joker [heÂ's a bird]
But when he jokes my honey [heÂ's a dog]
His jokinÂ' ainÂ't so funny [what a dog]
Johnny is a joker thatÂ's aÂ'tryinÂ' to steal my honey [heÂ'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 heÂ's just a wolf dog [on the prowl]
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby [heÂ's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog youÂ'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 [heÂ's a bird]
He tiptoed up to reach her [heÂ's a bird]
Well heÂ's the teacherÂ's pet now [heÂ's a dog]
What he wants heÂ's been gettinÂ' now [what a dog]
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby [heÂ's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog youÂ'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 HeÂ's a bird
