Lyrics

[Intro]
Tweedily-deedily-dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweedily-deedily dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweedily-deedily dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet
[PreChorus]
He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singin' his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
[Chorus]
Rockin' robin, rock, rock
Rockin' robin
Blow, rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
[Verse 1]
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
Blow, rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
[PostChorus]
Yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started goin' steady and a-bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
[PreChorus]
He rocks in the treetops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singin' his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
[Chorus]
Rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedily-dee), rock, rock
Rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedily-dee)
Blow, rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
[Verse 2]
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
Started goin' steady and a-bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
[PreChorus]
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singin' his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet, tweet, tweet
[Chorus]
Rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedily-dee), rock, rock
Rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedily-dee)
Blow, rockin' robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight
[Outro]
Tweedily-deedily-dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweedily-deedily-dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweedily-deedily-dee, tweedily-deedily-dee
Tweet, tweet
