Bird Dance Beat - The Trashmen

Bird Dance Beat

The Trashmen

(George Willis Garrett, GARRETT 4003, 1964)

Well, shake your shoulders and move your feet
We're gonna stomp to the bird dance beat
Well, flap your arms and move your hand
We're gonna rock to the bird dance band

[Chorus]
Pa-pa-oo-mow-mow, pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow
Pa-pa-oo-mow-mow, pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow
Pa-pa-oo-mow-mow, pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow
Pa-pa-oo-mow-mow, pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow

We're shakin' and a-movin', well all around
We're dancin' with all of those chicks in town
We'll do the bird dance till broad daylight
That's the way that we spend our night

Well, the guitars are a-wailin' so let's do it now
'Cause the birdman's singin' pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow
If you've heard the surfin' bird, you can't go wrong
'Cause they're playin' and singin' the bird dance song

(What's the word!)

Well, shake your shoulders and move your feet
We're gonna stomp to the bird dance beat
Well, flap your arms and move your hand
We're gonna rock to the bird dance band

We're shakin' and a-movin', well all around
We're dancin' with all of those chicks in town
We'll do the bird dance till broad daylight
That's the way that we spend our night

Well, the guitars are a-wailin' so let's do it now
'Cause the birdman's singin' pa-pa-oo-mow-mow-mow
If you've heard the surfin' bird, you can't go wrong
'Cause they're playin' and singin' the bird dance song

(Brrrrr... ya-ya-ya)
