The Bluebird, The Buzzard & The Oriole

Now, listen, all you birds
I'm the eagle
When I say, "Hop"
Let's go

It started one night at a bird bandstand
Crickets was a-jumpin' with a swingin' band
Did a new dance called the rock and roll
Eliminated all but three, I'm told
Well, the bluebird (Rock rock), the buzzard, and the oriole, oh-ho

Well, it was a-hopping
Trees was a-rocking (Rockin' and a-rollin')
It was a-rockin' and a-hoppin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh

Well, the eagle came a-hoppin' from tree to tree
Said, I'll emcee this jamboree
All you little sparrows better swing and sway
Gonna rock this tree till the break of day
With the bluebird (Rock rock), the buzzard, and the oriole, oh-ho

Well, it was a-rocking
Trees was a-hopping (Rockin' and a-rollin')
It was a-rockin' and a-hoppin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh
Whoa

(Rockin' and a-rollin')
(Rockin' and a-rollin')
(Rockin' and a-rollin')
(Rockin' and a-rollin')

Well, the blackbird blabbin' all the news around
The bugs came a-hoppin' from outta the ground
The people joined in and said, Bless my soul
Find out who started this rock and roll
Well, the bluebird (Rock rock), the buzzard, and the oriole, oh-ho

Well, it was a-hopping
Trees was a-rocking (Rockin' and a-rollin')
It was a-rockin' and a-rollin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh

Well, it was a-rocking
Trees was a-hopping (Rockin' and a-rollin')
It was a-walkin' and a-strollin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, whoa-hoh
Yeah-heh
