Everly Brothers, The - Bird Dog Lyrics
Johnny is a joker (he's a bird)
A very funny joker (he's a bird)
But when he jokes my honey (he's a dog)
His jokin' ain't so funny (what a dog)
Johnny is a joker that's a-tryin' to steal my baby (he's a bird dog)
Johnny sings a love song (like a bird)
He sings the sweetest love song (ya ever heard)
But when he sings to my gal (what a howl)
To me he's just a wolf dog (on the prowl)
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby (he's a bird dog)
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog, get away from my chick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)
He tiptoed up to reach her (he's a bird)
Well he's the teachers pet now (he's a dog)
What he wants he can get now (what a dog)
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby (he's a bird dog)
Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own
He's bird……

Bird dawg🐦🐕🦺
Love this version, but was there a bad version?
So simple but just FANTASTIC.
My dad used to sing this when we was kids
One of my dreams is to own a '58 Chevy Impala- BLACK, metal flake, and cruise down my towns main drag blasting this classic.
I can relate to johnny..I'm also extremely horny..
There are many sorts of people I do not appreciate. Concerning their intentional behaviour, I mean. In Dutch we name one sort of people " ne curieuzeneuze-mosterdpot"... The translation in English is: " People who impose themselves on others and should definitely ease down their curiousness". Check: Numberonemusic.com search: spiceypete
The hell is a bird dog? lmao
It’s kinda annoying he’s a bird he’s a dog what a dog it’s annoying or is it just me OWO
Loved the Everlys and their songs. Good memories
Rip Phil everly
Their songs are easy to play on the guitar. I think Lennon & McCartney learned that from them.
devon salmond is my bird dog
All time top 5 greatest acts ever in the universe:
5: The Archies
4: Liberaci
3: Sonny (from Sonny and Cher)
2: Tiny Tim
1: Pat Boon
nice song, it's got personality.
Hey bird dog get away from my dick
Anything from 50's to the mid nineties are actually music...I was born in 81 and was exposed to classic music early on thank u mom and dad
My dad used to listen to these guys. I heard this song in the store the other day and knew it was the everly brothers. Just couldn't remember the lyrics. The melody is great. They don't make good music like this nowadays. Everything is about drugs and satan. What happened to America?
this is R&R
Fantastic!
My sweetie and I were driving into town yesterday. I spotted a German pointer, and I drove slowey making sure it wasnt a stray. I kept singing parts of this song as we are inspecting things and then my partners says to me"hey remember that song bird dog? "
He's so proud he thought of that song, oh well.
Rip Phil everly
Fabulous sound - never to be repeated - cant beat the 60's music xxx

Johnny kissed the teacher (he's a bird)

always been one of my favorite songs of all time.
Wow. It's been decades, and NOW I finally know the lyrics to the song and it makes more sense than it ever has before. I always heard it as: "Hey bird dog get away from my Well," and "get away from my Jeep." It seems so silly to think of it like that now.
sounds really swell in my mini Cooper (50s on 5)
Joey Nash. The mini cooper is a LOT like the morris minor...center speedo even the shape best little car ever...

5. Beach Boys
4. The Platters
3. Roy Orbison
2. Everly Brothers
1. Elvis Presley
I'll never listen to surf music again...jimi hendrix your list is good, minus the beach boys.
@Drew Fitz You must've not heard their records Smile and Pet Sounds.. Screw the surfing shit.. THESE ALBUMS Are Why the BEACH BOYS ARE RELEVANT - Brian Wilson is a genius of our time
The Beatles >
Good list.
I guess this is strictly American Rock and Roll?
Jesus Christ Yes, The very good period of Beach Boys, I included Today there as there were hints of Pet Sounds brewing by 1965...
Summer Days and Summer Nights is pretty good too, but there were a few duds on that album, There were some good songs there too. (But I’m Bugged at my Old Man is a pretty bad one by the one time brief member, Mr. Too Embarrassed.... This is also a Joke).

Lawndale Ca. 1958, as a child it was the best time for rocknroll. A third harmony would have been great........
When, I read your comment, I immediately thought of the BeeGees because they were famous for their tight three part harmonies. Too bad there's only one left now.
Must of sucked
this song went to #2 on the pop charts in 1958!!!
Daniel Burns: Oh, no! Only #2? That's terrible! (My attempt at levity)
ogredad55 what’s levity?
I had a third harmony for these guys. Always hoped that I would run into them somewhere and sit in!!
A couple of corrections on the lyrics. First off - In the first verse, last line it's: Baby NOT Honey. In the third verse, fourth line - after the line - Well he's the teacher's pet now, it should read - Well, he wants all he can get now. Otherwise - Awesome tune!! A Classic!! one of my favs from them. BTW - RIP Phil Everly!! :-/ You will be greatly missed!!
@hotrodd100 That line should read "What he wants he can get now". Makes more sense.......
@ReynoldsCCR Yes, you are correct except just add the "well" back in there. So, it actually says, "Well, What he wants, he can get now". :-)
Still seems like yesterday !! <3
This song cracks me up, I swear. I can't stop laughing. I love it. So funny. I love having fun with music too.
Like a Bird
I love this song. My dad would always place this for me at his bar. Heading to Amazon to buy me a Everly Bros., album.
R.I.P., Phil Everly!
RIP Phil Everly
Love their guitars!
I Love This Song
Does anyone realize this song had nothing to do with a literal bird dog, or even hunting for that matter. Either way, funny song.
am i the only one who came here because of ray?
whatever...nice song :D
ain't nothing like good birddogs and quail hunting, i am 66 and have had birddogs since i was in my teens, and killed a lot of birds, and had some pretty good birddogs this song is decidated to all the good birddogs and birdhunters living and that have passed on god bless em
I have a question...do you have ANY idea where I can find information on who owns the current publishing rights for songs?
On this day in 1966 {January 17th} the Everly Brothers performed a medley of "Wake Up, Little Susie", "Bye Bye, Love" and "Bird Dog" on the NBC-TV program "Hallabaloo!'...
Two of the songs reached #1; "Wake Up, Little Susie" {for 4 weeks in 1957} and "Bird Dog" {for 1 week in 1958}...
And "Bye Bye, Love" peaked at #2 {for 4 weeks in 1957}...
{Plus, "Wake Up, Little Susie" also peaked at #1 on Billboard's Country & R&B chart and in Canada}...
Love that guitar riff in the beginning, it really rocks
It reminds a lot the riff in B.Holly Slippin'n'sliddin.
Just love this song, they sing it well.
