Lyrics
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Rockin' Robin spends his time in the treetops throughout the day.
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
He is lively, bouncing around, and happily singing his song.
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
All the small birds on Jaybird Street.
Love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
The birds love to hear the robin's cheerful "Tweet, tweet, tweet."
Rockin' robin
Repetition of the joyful expression of the robin's rocking, anticipating a night of intense rock and roll.
Rockin' robin
-Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
-Ev'ry little swallow, ev'ry chickadee
Every type of bird, from swallows to chickadees, join in the excitement, encouraging the robin to keep rocking.
Ev'ry little bird in the tall oak tree
-The wise old owl, the big black crow
-Flap their wings singing "Go bird go"
-Rockin' robin
Reiteration of the impending lively night of rock and roll.
Rockin' robin
-Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
-Pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
A narrative about a raven teaching the robin dance moves, leading to a romantic relationship and the robin outperforming other birds in dancing.
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
-They started going steady and bless my soul
-He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
-He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Repetition of the robin's daytime activities and the birds' enjoyment of its song.
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
-All the little birds on Jaybird Street
-Love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
-Rockin' robin
Final expressions of excitement and anticipation for a night of intense rocking by the robin and other birds.
Rockin' robin
-Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
-Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
-Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
