Rockin' Robin

Words & Music:

Bobby Day

 

A

He rocks in the treetops all day long,

A

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.

D7

All the little birdies on Jaybird Street,

A

Love to hear the robin go "Tweet!  Tweet!  Tweet!"

 

CHORUS:

        D                  A

Rockin' Robin, oh, Rockin' Robin'.

E                                                A

Oh, Rockin' Robin, well, you're really gonna rock tonight.

 

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee,

Every little bird in the tall oak tree,

The wise old owl, the big black crow,

Flappin' their wings saying, "Go, bird, go!"

 

CHORUS:

 

A wordy little raven at the bird bandstand,

Told them how to do The Bop and that was grand.

They started going steady and, bless my soul,

He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole!

 

He rocks in the tree tops all day long,

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song.

All the little birdies on Jaybird Street

Love to hear the robin go "Tweet!  Tweet!  Tweet!"

 

CHORUS:
