Johnny is a joker,
yeah, a very funny joker
But when he jokes, my heart aches,
joking ain't so funny
Johnny is a joker,
that's a Chinese deal,
my baby
Johnny sings a love song,
he sings the sweetest love song
But when he sings to my gal,
it'll mean just the world to all
Johnny wants to fly away
and father love my baby
Hey, good dog, get away from my quail
Hey, good dog,
you're on the wrong trail
Good dog, you'd better leave
my lovin' gal alone
Hey, good dog,
get away from my chick
Hey, good dog,
you'd better get away quick
Good dog, I need my love and care for my own
Oh, Johnny was the teacher
He tickled Dr. Rita
And now he's the teacher's pet now
What he wants he can get now
He even made the teacher
let him sit next to my baby
Hey bird dog, get away from my quail
Hey bird dog, you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog, you better leave my
loving gal alone
Hey bird dog,
get away from my sheep
Hey bird dog,
you better get away quick
Good dog, I need my love again
for my own
