Lyrics

I was talking to the whippoorwill He says you've got a corny trill Bob White, I'm gonna swing tonight I was talking to the mockingbird He says you are the worst he's heard Bob White, I'm gonna swing tonight Even the owl tells me you're foul singing those lullaby notes Well, he is a bring down, he never could swing down He ain't got my high notes There's a lot of talk about you, Bob Yeah, they're sayin' you're off the cob Why, that's heresy, I'll sue Fake it, Mr. B, yeah go Take it, follow me, Bob White We're gonna break it up tonight Now, here's a wire from the whippoorwill You mean my old friend Will Who says you got a mellow drill Oh, ho, ho, yes, I have Bob White, oh, ho, ho We're in the groove tonight Now, here's another one from the mocking bird What does he have to say? That you're the best he's heard Ho, ho, ho that's too absurd Bob White, oh, ho, ho We really stole the light Even the owl threw in a towel After you sing staccato And the flamingo hollered up a jingle What have we brought to? Now the consensus of opinion Oh, ho, ho, what does the consensus say? That you are a solid will Ho, ho, ho, yes, I am Sing on, Mr.B I'm gonna swing on merrily Bob White We really broke it up tonight, Bob
