(Bryant)



Johnny is a joker (He's a bird)

A very funny joker (He's a bird)

But when he jokes my hone (He's a dog)

His jokin ain't so funny (What a dog)

Johnny is a joker that's a cryin''

To steal my baby (He's a bird dog)



Johnny sings a love song (Like a bird)

Sings the sweetest love song (You 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

Bug a lug my baby (He's a bird dog)



Hey bird dog stay 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 better get away quick

Bird dog you better find

A chicky little of your own



He's a bird dog



Johnny kissed the teacher (He's a bird)

He tiptoed up to reach her (He's a bird)

Though 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)



He's a bird dog, he's a bird dog
