Lyrics

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-jumpin' with a swingin' band Did a new dance called the rock and roll Eliminated all but three, I'm told Well, the bluebird (Rock rock), the buzzard, and the oriole, oh-ho Well, it was a-hopping Trees was a-rocking (Rockin' and a-rollin') It was a-rockin' and a-hoppin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh Well, the eagle came a-hoppin' 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, oh-ho Well, it was a-rocking Trees was a-hopping (Rockin' and a-rollin') It was a-rockin' and a-hoppin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh Whoa (Rockin' and a-rollin') (Rockin' and a-rollin') (Rockin' and a-rollin') (Rockin' and a-rollin') Well, the blackbird blabbin' all the news around The bugs came a-hoppin' from outta the ground The people joined in and said, Bless my soul Find out who started this rock and roll Well, the bluebird (Rock rock), the buzzard, and the oriole, oh-ho Well, it was a-hopping Trees was a-rocking (Rockin' and a-rollin') It was a-rockin' and a-rollin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, uh-huh Well, it was a-rocking Trees was a-hopping (Rockin' and a-rollin') It was a-walkin' and a-strollin' till the leaves came a-tumblin' down, whoa-hoh Yeah-heh
