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 joking ain't so funny
(What a dog)

Johnny is a joker that's
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, 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 teachers 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)

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

He's a bird
