	A very funny joker (he's a bird)
	     
	But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog)

Verse 2:

	Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)

	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

Verse 3:

	Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)
	He tiptoed up to reach her (he's a bird)
	Well, he's the teacher's pet now (he's a dog)
