Bird Dog Songtext
von The Velvets

Johnny is a joker (he′s a bird)
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (he′s a dog)
His joking ain't so funny (what a dog?)
Johnny is a joker that's a-trying
To steal my baby (he′s a bird dog)

Johnny sings the love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl?)
To me he′s just wolf dog (on the prowl)
Johnny wants to fly away
And puppy love my baby (he's a bird dog)


Get away from my quail
You′re on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave
My lovely dove alone
(You better leave her alone)
Get away from my chick
You better get away quick
Bird dog you better find
A chicken little of your own

Johnny kissed a teacher (he's a bird)
He tiptoed up to reach her (he′s the bird)
Well, he's a teachers pet now (he′s the dog)
What he wants is he gets now (what a dog?)
He even made a teacher
Let him set next to my baby (he's a bird dog)

Get away from my quail
You're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave
My lovely dove alone
(You better leave her alone)
Get away from my chick
You better get away quick
Bird dog you better find
A chicken little of your own.
