"Bird Dog" lyrics

Bird Dog

Johnny is a joker
He's a bird
A very funny joker
He's a bird
Hey, when he took my honey
He's a dog
His joking ain't so funny
What a dog

Johnny is the joker
That's a trying to steal my baby
He's a bird dog
He's a dog

Hey, now 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
Well, 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
He's a dog

Hey bird dog
Get away from my quail
Hey bird dog
You are on the wrong trail
Bird dog
You'd better leave my lovely dove alone

Hey bird dog
Get away from my chick
Hey bird dog
You'd better get away quick
Bird dog you'd 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 teachers pet now
He's a dog
And he's getting what 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 dog

Hey, hey, hey, bird dog
Get away from my quail
Hey bird dog
You are on the wrong trail
Bird dog
You'd better leave my lovely dove alone

Hey bird dog
Get away from my chick
Hey bird dog
Get away from her quick
Bird dog you'd better find a chicken little
Of your own
Bird dog you'd better find a chicken little
Of your own
