He rocks in the treetop all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jay Bird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)
Blow, rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight, yeah
(Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)

Every little swallow, every chickadee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flap-a their wings singin' "go bird go"

Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)
Blow, rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow!

A pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started goin' steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the treetop all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jay Bird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)
Blow, rockin' robin
'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
(Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)

Well, the pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started goin' steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the treetop all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singin' his song
All the little birds on Jay Bird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin (tweet tweet tweet)
Rock, rock, rockin' robin (Tweet, tweedle-lee-dee)
