       B5 
      Johnny is a joker                        (he's a bird) 
       B5 
    A very funny joker                         (he's a bird) 
       E5 
 But when he jokes my honey                    (he's a dog) 
       B5 
  His jokin' ain't so funny                    (what a dog) 
      F#5                          E5                                B5    B5    E5    A5    F#5 F#5 F#5 F#5 
     Johnny is a joker that's a tryin' to steal my baby   (he's a bird dog) 
 
{V2} 

Johnny sings a love song                        (like a bird) 

Sings the sweetest love song                    (ya ever heard) 

But when he sings to my gal                     (what a howl) 

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) 
 
 {Chorus} 
  E5 
 Hey bird dog get away from my quail 
  B5 
 Hey bird dog you're on the wrong trail 
  F#5                           E5            B5          F#5 
 Bird dog you better leave my lovely dove alone 
 
 Hey bird dog get away from my chick 

 Hey bird dog you better get away quick                 

 Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

{V3} 

Johnny kissed the teacher                            (he's a bird) 

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

Well he's the teacher's pet now                      (he's a dog) 

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)
