Lyrics

Bout a handsome little fox Let me sing you folks a yarn Hey, diddle-dee, duddle-da Doddle-do, doodle-dum 'Twas a splendid little fella Full of wit and grace and charm Say zippy-zee, zappy-za Yappy-yo, goggle-gum Well, like any little critter needing Vittles for his little-uns Well, he stole and he cheated And he lied just to survive With a doodle-dum, diddle-da Duddle-diddle-doodle-dum With a zippy-zo, zippy-zay Zippy-zappy-zoopy-zee Oh, doo-dah, doo-dah, day! Let me take a little tick now To color in the scene 'Cross the valley lived 3 yokels Name of Boggis, Bunce and Bean Now these 3 crazy jackies Had our hero on the run Shot the tail off the cuss With a fox-shooting gun But that stylish little fox Was clever as a whip Dug as quick as a gopher That was hyperactive Now those 3 farmers sit 'Twhere there's a hole 'twas once a hill Singing diddle-dee, duddle-da Doddle-do, doodle-dum And as far as I can reckon They're sitting up there still Singing zippy-zee, zappy-za, yoppy-yo... (Spoken outro) What are you singing, Petey? Just, just making it up as I went along, really That's just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!
