The Bluebird, the Buzzard & the Oriole Songtext
von Bobby Day

Now, listen, all you birds
I′m the eagle
When I say hop, let's go

It started one night
At a bird bandstand
Crickets was a jumping
With a swinging band

They had a new dance called
The rock and roll
Illuminated all
But three I′m told

Well, the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole

Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking
It was a rocking (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
It was a hopping and a-rocking 'til the
Leaves came tumbling down


Well, the eagle came
Hopping from tree to tree
Said, I'll emcee this jamboree
All you little sparrows
Better swing and sway
Gonna rock this tree
Till the break of day

With the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole

Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
It was a rocking and a hopping till the
Leaves came tumbling down

Well, the blackbird
Blabbing all the news around
The bugs came hopping
From out of the ground

Well the people joined in
They said bless my soul
Find out who started this rock and roll
Well, the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole

Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking (Rocking-and-rolling)
It was a rocking and a-rolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down


Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
It was a rocking and
A strolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down
