Lyrics: Rockin’ Robin

Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hopping and a-bopping and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin, rock rock
Rockin’ robin
Blow, rockin’ robin
‘Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flapping their wings singing, “Go, bird, go”
Rockin’ robin, rock rock
Rockin’ robin
Blow, rockin’ robin
‘Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight
Yeah, yeah!
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the Buzzard and the Oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hopping and a-bopping and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin (Tweet, tweedily dee), rock, rock
Rockin’ robin (Tweet, tweedily dee)
Blow, rockin’ robin
‘Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the Buzzard and the Oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hopping and a-bopping and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin’ robin (Tweet, tweedily dee), rock, rock
Rockin’ robin (Tweet, tweedily dee)
Blow, rockin’ robin
‘Cause we’re really gonna rock tonight
Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, tweedily deedily dee
