Now, listen, all you birds I'm an eagle When I say hop, let's go
It started one night At a bird bandstand Crickets was a jumping With a swinging band
Had a new dance called The rock and roll Illuminated all But three I'm told
Well, the bluebird The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping Trees was rocking It was a rocking and A hopping till the Leaves came tumbling down
Well, the eagle came Hopping from tree to tree Said, I'll emcee this jamboree All you little sparrows Better swing and sway We're gonna rock this tree Till the break of day
With the bluebird The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was rocking Trees was hopping It was a rocking and A hopping till the Leaves came tumbling down
Well, the blackbird Blabbing all the news around The bugs came hopping From out of the ground
They all joined in Said, bless my soul Who started this rock and roll Well, the bluebird The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping Trees was rocking It was a rocking and A rolling till the Leaves came tumbling down
Well, it was rocking Trees was hopping It was a rocking and A strolling till the Leaves came tumbling down
