Bird Dog Lyrics By The Everly Brothers

    johnny is the 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 the joker that’s been tryin’ 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 it’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
