I was talking to the whippoorwill
He says you've got a corny drill
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's 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 (Mm-hmm)
Mister B (Here I go)
Take it
Follow me
Bob White
We're gonna break it up tonight
ย
Now here's a wire from the whippoorwill
(You mean my old friend Bill?)
He says that you have got a mellow drill
(Oh-ho-ho, yes, I have)
Bob White
Ho-ho-ho
We're in the groove tonight
Now here's another from the mockingbird
(What does he have to say?)
That you're the best he's heard
(Oh-ho, that's too absurd)
Bob White
Ho-ho-ho
We really saw the light
Even the owl
Threw in the towel
After you sang staccato
And the flamingo
Hollered for jingle
What a vibrato
Now the consensus of opinion is
(Oh-ho-ho, what is the consensus is?)
That you're a solid whiz
(Oh-ho-ho, yes, I is)
Sing on, Mister B
I'm gonna swing on merrily
Bob White
We really broke it up tonight
Bob
