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
Fade he's a bird
