A very funny joker (he�s a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (he�s a dog)
His jokin� ain�t so funny (what a dog)
Johnny is a joker that�s a�tryin� to steal my baby (he�s a bird dog)

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you�re on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (ya ever heard)
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
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)

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you�re on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

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)
