What time is it?
Alright, y'all got 10 seconds to get to the dance floor
Whawk!
C'mon now

(chorus)

America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance and it's called "The bird"
You don't need no finesse or no personality, you just need two arms and an attitude
And everybody sing with me, come on now!
Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Brothers, don't be cool Women like it sometimes when you act a fool
Sisters, don't be shy Let your body get loose, you ain't to fat to fly
Come on now! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Yes! Hold on now, this dance ain't for everybody Just the sexy people
White folks, you're much too tight
You gotta shake your head like the black folks You might get some tonight
Look out!

(repeat chorus)

Everybody! Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Alright! When the horns blow, I want everybody on the floor
You know this groove is sexy, you ain't got no excuse no more
Jerome, I wanna show 'em where we live
Siamese twins joined at the suit Fellas, give me something to fly with

Alright brothers, keep up with that
Jerome, bring me my hat Did I mess my hair up?
Fellas, y'all play something
I'm go over here and talk to this girl

Hey Morris, tonight we had a good time to find a girlfriend

I pledge allegiance to THE TIME
America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance called "The bird"

Fellas? - Yeah!
What's the word? - Whawk!
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - Do "The bird"!

Whawk! Hallelujah! Whoa!

Fellas? - Yeah!
What's the word? - Whawk!
When we wanna get some, what'd we do? - Do "The bird""!

America?
What's the word? - Whawk!
When you wanna get some, what'd you do? - Do "The bird""!

Take it home!
Whawk!
