Rockin’ Robin Lyrics (Michael Jackson)
In 1972, Michael Jackson released his own version of "Rockin' Robin", which was released as a single from his gold-certified solo album titled Got to Be There as a follow-up single to the song of the same name.
As Jerry Marcellino noted, “Rockin' Robin” was the Motown star's take on an earlier rock 'n' roll hit by Bobby Day, when it was known as “Rock-in' Robin.” The song was written under the pseudonym of Jimmie (or Jimmy) Thomas by Leon René, whose Class Records released Day's original in 1958.
Rockin’ Robin Lyrics
He rocks in the tree tops all day longHoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his songAll the little birdies on Jaybird StreetLove to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, rock rockRockin' robin'Blow rockin' robin'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-deeEvery little bird in the tall oak treeThe wise old owl, the big black crowFlappin' their wings singing go bird go
Rockin' robin, rock rockRockin' robin'Blow rockin' robin'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band standTold them how to do the bob and it was grandThey started going steady and bless my soulHe out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day longHoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his songAll the little birdies on Jaybird StreetLove to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, rock rockRockin' robin'Blow rockin' robin'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird-band standTold them how to do the bob and it was grandThey started going steady and bless my soulHe out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole
He rocks in the tree tops all day longHoppin' and a-boppin' and singing his songAll the little birdies on Jaybird StreetLove to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet
Rockin' robin, rock rockRockin' robin'Blow rockin' robin'Cause we're really gonna rock tonight.
