Bob White (Watcha Gonna Swing Tonight? - Bing Crosby, Connie Boswell

I was talking to the whippoorwill

He says you’ve got a corny trill

Bob White, I’m gonna swing tonight

I was talking to the mockingbird

He says you are the worst he’s heard

Bob White, I’m gonna swing tonight

Even the owl tells me you’re foul singing those lullaby notes

Well, he is a bring down, he never could swing down

He ain’t got my high notes

There’s a lot of talk about you, Bob

Yeah, they’re sayin' you’re off the cob

Why, that’s heresy, I’ll sue

Fake it, Mr. B, yeah go

Take it, follow me, Bob White

We’re gonna break it up tonight

Now, here’s a wire from the whippoorwill

You mean my old friend Will

Who says you got a mellow drill

Oh, ho, ho, yes, I have

Bob White, oh, ho, ho

We’re in the groove tonight

Now, here’s another one from the mocking bird

What does he have to say?

That you’re the best he’s heard

Ho, ho, ho that’s too absurd

Bob White, oh, ho, ho

We really stole the light

Even the owl threw in a towel

After you sing staccato

And the flamingo hollered up a jingle

What have we brought to?

Now the consensus of opinion

Oh, ho, ho, what does the consensus say?

That you are a solid will

Ho, ho, ho, yes, I am

Sing on, Mr. B

I’m gonna swing on merrily

Bob White

We really broke it up tonight, Bob
