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 Jaybird Street

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 Jaybird Street

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 Jaybird Street

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
