O.S.T - You've Got Mail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Every little swallow, ev'ry chickadee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
flap their wings singing "Go bird go"
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
taught him 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 a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"
Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
