Rockin\' Robin
ROCKIN\' ROBIN
Written and Composed by Thomas
(From “GOT TO BE THERE” Album)
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin\' and a-boppin\' and singing his song
All the little birdies on
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin\' robin, rock rock
Rockin\' robin\'
Blow rockin\' robin
‘Cause we\'re really gonna rock tonight
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 singing go bird go
Rockin\' robin, rock rock
Rockin\' robin\'
Blow rockin\' robin
‘Cause we\'re really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them 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
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin\' and a-boppin\' and singing his song
All the little birdies on
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin\' robin, rock rock
Rockin\' robin\'
Blow rockin\' robin
‘Cause we\'re really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
Told them 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
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin\' and a-boppin\' and singing his song
All the little birdies on
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin\' robin, rock rock
Rockin\' robin\'
Blow rockin\' robin
‘Cause we\'re really gonna rock tonight
