Intro
Verse 1
He rocks in the treetops all day long, hoppin' and a-boppin'
and singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the
robin go tweet-tweet-tweet
Chorus
Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'
Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Verse 2
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee, every little bird
in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow flappin' their wings
singin' "go bird, go"
Chorus
Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'
Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Bridge
Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand 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
Verse 3 (same as 1)
He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin'
and singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the
robin go tweet-tweet-tweet
Chorus
Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'
Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Bridge
Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand 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
KEY CHANGE
He out bopped-the buzzard and the oriole
Verse 4 (same as 1)
He rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin' and a-boppin'
and singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street love to hear the
robin go tweet-tweet-tweet
Chorus
Rockin' robin, Rock-rock-rockin' robin'
Go rockin' robin 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
