Rockin' Robin

Rockin' Robin is a very funny song about Robin - a bird who is rockin' around in the tree tops. Kids love both singing this song, and dancing to it. So what are you waiting for?

Rockin' Robin was released in 1958 by Bobby Day (written by Jimmi Thomas (pseudonym)). It has also been recorded by Michael Jackson.

Did you know that "Rockin' Robin" has been on the Billboard Hot 100 list two times? It was actually number two with both Bobby Day and Michael Jackson.

But no more talking. Let's sing and dance! :)

Rockin' Robin - Lyrics

He rocks in the tree tops all day long,
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song.
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet!

Rockin' Robin,
Rockin' Robin,
Go rockin' Robin. 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight!

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee,
Every little bird in the tall oak tree.
The wise old owl, the big black crow,
Flappin' their wings saying: "go bird, go!"

Rockin' Robin,
Rockin' Robin',
Go rockin' Robin, 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight!

A wordy little raven at the bird's first dance,
Taught them 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,
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song.
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet!

Rockin' Robin,
Rockin' Robin,
Go rockin' Robin. 'cause we're really gonna rock tonight!

Pretty little raven at the bird band stand,
Told them 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,
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his song.
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet!
