Now, listen, all you birds
I'm the eagle
When I say hop, let's go
It started one night
At a bird bandstand
Crickets was a jumping
With a swinging band
They had a new dance called
The rock and roll
Illuminated all
But three I'm told
Well, the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking
It was a rocking (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
It was a hopping and a-rocking 'til 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
Gonna rock this tree
Till the break of day
With the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
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
Well the people joined in
They said bless my soul
Find out who started this rock and roll
Well, the bluebird (Rock rock)
The buzzard and the oriole
Well, it was hopping
Trees was rocking (Rocking-and-rolling)
It was a rocking and a-rolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down
Well, it was rocking
Trees was hopping (Rocking-and-a-rolling)
It was a rocking and
A strolling till the
Leaves came tumbling down
