Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow

Blow rockin’ robin, ’cause we’re really gonna rock tonight (tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)
A pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop, it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree top all day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singing 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, tweedle-lee-dee)
Blow rockin’ robin, ’cause we’re really gonna rock tonight

Well, a pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop, it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the Buzzard and the Oriole
He rocks in the tree top all day long
Hoppin’ and a-boppin’ and a-singing 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, tweedle-lee-dee)
