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 (he?'s 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 dicky-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 love dog (on the prowl)
Johnny wants to fly away and bugaloo my baby (he?s a bird dog)

[Chorus]
Hey bird dog get away from my quail
He bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you'd better leave my lovey dove alone
Hey bird dog get away from my chick
Hey bird dog better get away quick
Bird dog you'd better find a chicken little of your own

Johnny kissed the teacher (naughty boy)
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 can get now (what a dog)
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he?s a bird dog)

[Chorus]

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 (he?s a dog)

Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he?s a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he?s a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he?s a bird dog)
Johnny is a joker that's trying to steal my baby (he?s a bird dog) [Repeat to fade]
