Lyrics When The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along - Carmen McRae

When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob Bobbin′ Along
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along, along
There′ll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song
Wake up, wake up you sleepy head
Get up, get out of your bed
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red
Live, love, laugh and be happy
What if I were blue, now I′m walking through, walking through the fields of flowers
Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours
I′m just a kid again doing what I did again, singing a song
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin′
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin' along
There′ll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin′
There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts a throbbin′ his old sweet song
Wake up, wake up you sleepy head
Why don′t you get up, get up, get out of bed, cheer up
Live, love, laugh and be happy
What if I were blue, now I'm walking through fields of flowers
Rain may glisten but still I listen for hours and hours
I′m just a kid again, doing what I did again, singing a song
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin'
When the red, red robin comes bob, bob, bobbin′ along
Along, along, along, along, along.

WHEN THE RED RED ROBIN GOES BOB BOB BOBBIN' ALONG (Al Jolson)
Harry MacGregor Woods 1926

As rec by Al Jolson June 1st 1926

I heard a robin this mornin′,
I'm feelin' happy today;
Gonna pack my cares in a whistle
And blow them all away!

What if I been unlucky,
Feel I ain′t got a thing?
There′s a time I always feel happy,
As happy as a king!

When the red red robin
Comes bob bob bobbin'
Along, along,
There′ll be no more sobbin'
When he starts throbbin′
His old sweet song.

Wake up, wake up you sleepy head!
Get up, get out o' bed!
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy!

What if I′ve been blue?
Now I'm walking through
Fields of flowers!
Rain may glisten
But still I listen
For hours and hours!

I'm just a kid again,
Doin′ what I did again,
Singin′ a song,
When the red red robin
Comes bob bob bobbin'
Along.

When the red red robin
Comes bob bob bobbin′
Along, along,
There'll be no more sobbin′
When he starts throbbin'
His old sweet song.

Wake up, wake up you sleepy head!
Get up, get out o′ bed!
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red,
Live, love, laugh and be happy!

What if I've been blue?
Now I'm walking through
Fields of flowers!
Rain may glisten
But still I listen
For hours and hours!

I′m just a kid again,
Doin′ what I did again,
Singin' a song,
When the red red robin
Comes bob bob bobbin′
Along.
