rockin' robin
words and music by jimmy thomas

Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

Rockin' Robin (tweet, tweet, tweet)
Rockin' Robin (tweet, twidly-deet)
Blow, rockin' robin 'cause we really gonna rock tonight.

Ev'ry little swallow, ev'ry chickadee
Ev'ry little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flappin' their wings sayin', "Go, bird, go."

Blow, rockin' robin 'cause we really gonna rock tonight.

Ev'ry little raven at the birdman's stand
Talkin' 'bout the loozapoppin' - it was grand
They started goin' steady and bless my soul
Out popped the buzzard and the oriole.

He rocks in the treetop all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet.

Blow, rockin' robin 'cause we really gonna rock tonight.

A pretty little raven at the birdman's stand
Talkin' 'bout the loozapoppin' - it was grand
They started goin' steady and bless my soul
Out popped the buzzard and the oriole.

He rocks in the treetop all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
