Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Oh, thats the Woody Woodpecker song
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Yeah, hes a-peckin it all day long
He pecks a few holes in a tree to see
If a redwoods really red
And its nothing to him, on the tiniest whim
To peck a few holes in your head
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Oh, thats the Woody Woodpeckers tune
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Makes the other woodpeckers swoon
Though it doesnt make sense to the dull and the dense
And the lady woodpeckers long for
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Thats the Woody Woodpecker song
—— instrumental interlude ——
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Woody Woodpeckers serenade
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
On the woodpecker hit parade
Though he cant sing a note, theres a frog in his throat
All his top notes come out blurred
Hes the ladies first choice, with a laugh in his voice
He gives all his rivals the bird
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Hell be settlin down some day
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
Hell be hearin the preacher say
For the rest of your life youll be Woody and wife
And the choir will sing along with
Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
The Woody Woodpecker song
