Bob White (Whatcha Gonna Swing Tonight?) [Birds of a Feather] - Carmen McRae

I was talking to the whippoorwill

He says you’ve got a corny trill

Bob White, whatcha gonna swing tonight?

I was talking to the mockingbird

He says you are the worst he’s heard

Bob White, whatcha gonna swing tonight?

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

Don’t be a bring down if you can swing down

Give me those high notes

There’s a lotta talk about you, Bob

And they’re saying you’re off the cob

Fake it, Mister B

Take it, follow me, Bob White

Don’t be a bring down if you can swing down

Give me those high notes

There’s a lotta talk about you, Bob

And they’re saying you’re off the cob

Fake it, Mister B

You better take it, follow me, Bob White

We’re gonna break it up tonight

We’re gonna break it up tonight
