Johnny, he's a joker (he's a bird)

His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
F# E
Johnny is a joker that's a-tryin' to steal my baby

Verse 2:
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)

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)
Bridge:

Hey, Bird Dog, get away from my quail
B
Hey, Bird Dog, you're on the wrong trail

Hey, Bird Dog, you better get away quick
F# E B
Bird Dog, you better find a Chicken Little of your own

Verse 3:
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 can get now (what a dog)
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby
(He's a bird dog)
