Johnny sings a love song                        (like a bird) 
Sings the sweetest love song                    (ya ever heard) 
But when he sings to my gal                     (what a howl) 
To me he's just a wolf dog                      (on the prowl) 
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy love my baby (he's a bird dog)
