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 baby (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 

He's a bird....
