[Intro]
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee
Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet

[Pre-Chorus]
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hopping and a-Bopping and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

[Chorus]
Rocking robin, rock rock
Rocking robin
Blow rocking robin
Because we are really going to rock tonight

[Verse 1]
Every little swallow, every chick-a-Dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flapping their wings singing go bird go

[Chorus]
Rocking robin, rock rock
Rocking robin
Blow rocking robin
Because we are really going to rock tonight

[Verse 2]
Pretty little raven at the bird-band stand
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

[Pre-Chorus]
He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hopping and a-Bopping and singing his song
All the little birdies on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go tweet tweet tweet

[Chorus]
Rocking robin, rock rock
Rocking robin
Blow rocking robin
Because we are really going to rock tonight

[Outro]
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee
Tweedily deedily dee, Tweedily deedily dee

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
