ROCKIN' ROBIN
Jimmy Thomas


verse 1
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"

chorus 1
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight

verse 2
Ev'ry little swallow, ev'ry chickadee
Ev'ry little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
flap their wings singing "Go bird go"

chorus 2
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight

middle 8
Pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

verse 3
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"

chorus 3
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
