Johnny, he's a joker (he's a bird)

B

His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)

F# E

Johnny is a joker that's a-tryin' to steal my baby

B E A F# [as per intro]

(He's a bird dog)

Verse 2:

Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)

He sings the sweetest love song (you ever heard)

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)

Bridge:

E

Hey, Bird Dog, get away from my quail

B

Hey, Bird Dog, you're on the wrong trail

F# E B7

Bird Dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone

E

Hey, Bird Dog, get away from my chick

B

Hey, Bird Dog, you better get away quick

F# E B

Bird Dog, you better find a Chicken Little of your own

[repeat intro]

Verse 3:

Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)

He tiptoed up to reach her (he's a bird)

What he wants he can get now (what a dog)

He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby

(He's a bird dog)
