| 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 |
