Bobby Darin

Bobby:
Just listen to the Bob White
He never could sing right.

Johnny:
You should hip him to the latest sound
And the talk thatââ?¬â?¢s goinââ?¬â?¢ ââ?¬Ë?round.

Bobby:
Well, I was talkinââ?¬â?¢ to the parakeet
And he said, "Man, now about that beat?"

Johnny: How about that beat?

Bobby:
Hey, ââ?¬¦ Bob White
Ainââ?¬â?¢t ya gonna swing tonight?

Johnny:
Several people heard the albatross ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Yes.

Johnny:
Whisper Robert is on the sauce ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
I know for a fact heââ?¬â?¢s on the wagon.

Johnny:
Bob White
Nothing but a neophyte.

Bobby:
John, what does that word mean?

Johnny:
Amateur!

Bobby:
Even the pheasant
Found it unpleasant
Hearinââ?¬â?¢ you hit that flat note.

Johnny:
Whereas the sparrow
Froze to his marrow
When he heard that note.

Bobby:
The opinion of the tufted grouse
Is youââ?¬â?¢ll play to an empty house.

Johnny:
Could happen to anybody!

Bobby:
Sure could.

Both:
Get up ââ?¬¦ off that pad
Shape up ââ?¬¦ make it, Dad
Bob White
You gotta sing it out tonight.

Johnny:
Take a letter to the meadow lark
In reply to his rude remark ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Well, the mails must go through.

Johnny:
Bob White
Invites you to a bash tonight.

Bobby:
My tux isnââ?¬â?¢t even pressed!

Take a wire to the nightingale
Tell him Bob ainââ?¬â?¢t begun to wail
Bob Whiteââ?¬â?¢s
Gonna put him down for spite.

Johnny:
Circulate the word!

Call up the catbird
Tell that old fat bird
Heââ?¬â?¢s gonna sing a storm up.

Bobby:
Hip the canary
Itââ?¬â?¢ll be scary
After the warm up.

Johnny:
Man, heââ?¬â?¢s even gonna gas the goose
Heââ?¬â?¢ll be looser than Dr. Seuss ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Wait a minute, John, do I detect a note of meaning that heââ?¬â?¢s gonna be right in tune?

Johnny:
Man, Iââ?¬â?¢m tellinââ?¬â?¢ ya ... heââ?¬â?¢s gonna be ââ?¬¦ on the moon!

Bobby:
I see.

Both:
Bob White
Heââ?¬â?¢s gonna ball it up tonight.

Johnny:
Oh, heââ?¬â?¢s in there.

Bobby:
Ah, he whistles pretty.

Johnny:
Yeah, like a bird!

Bobby:
What?!

Johnny:
Hear the wire from the albatross ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Sounds urgent!

Johnny:
It reads Robert is still the boss ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Well, thank you very much, folks.

Johnny:
Bob White
He was in the grove tonight.

Bobby:
I quote directly from the whoopinââ?¬â?¢ crane
He says, "Man it was like insane."

Johnny:
He made it plain ââ?¬¦

Bobby:
Bob White
Reelinââ?¬â?¢ for a groovy fight

I thought I had him dead in the third round.

Johnny:
Hey, old papa redbird
Who is the head bird
Says you were in there swinginââ?¬â?¢

Bobby:
He was tryinââ?¬â?¢.

Even a jackdaw
Flew out the back door
Buckinââ?¬â?¢ and winginââ?¬â?¢.

Johnny:
You instigated such a swinginââ?¬â?¢ gig
That all them quadrupeds wanna dig.

Bobby:
Here, here, ââ?¬¦ you mean ...

Johnny:
Here come the moose and elk!

Bobby:
There goes Lawrence Welk!

Both:
Bob White! Bob White! Bob White!
You really sang it out tonight!

Bobby:
Ah, itââ?¬â?¢s for the birds.
