Rockin' Robin

(Thomas)
Twiddley dee, Twiddley diddley dee
Twiddley dee, Twiddley diddley dee
Twiddley dee, Twiddley diddley dee
Tweet, tweet, twiddley de

He rocks in the treetops all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing this song
Every little bird, every little bee
Loves to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Yeah go Rockin' Robin, really gonna rock tonight

Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the old oak tree
Wise old owl, big black crow
Put out their wings singing go bird go

Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee
Yeah go Rockin' Robin, really gonna rock tonight

The chief bird standing at the birdbath stand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
Start goin' steady and bless my soul,
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the treetops all the day long
Hoppin' and a-boppin' and a-singing this song
Every little bird, every little bee
Loves to hear the robin go tweet-tweet-tweet

Rockin' Robin, tweet, twiddley dee

Yeah go Rockin' Robin, really gonna rock tonight

Oh that's cool! I have been working on a poem with a robin in it. I always loved the Robbins!

[Jennifer-]

Me too! I look forward to it

They are in my garden and can come very close. Once one went into my bedroom in the morning thru the open window.

Here they look like this:



And I found this little fella ... screaming?

The screaming one looks so cute! Never seen a robin - only in pictures!

Here's the robin on the american continent... they're in different families than the european robins...  I'd love to see a european robin in the flesh (or feather)!!
