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
