Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

Oh, that's the Woody Woodpecker song

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

Yeah, he's a-peckin' it all day long



He pecks a few holes in a tree to see

If a redwood's really red

And it's 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, that's the Woody Woodpecker's tune

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

Makes the other woodpeckers swoon



Though it doesn't make sense to the dull and the dense

And the lady woodpeckers long for

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

That's the Woody Woodpecker song



------ instrumental interlude ------



Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

Woody Woodpecker's serenade

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

On the woodpecker hit parade



Though he can't sing a note, there's a frog in his throat

All his top notes come out blurred

He's 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!

He'll be settlin' down some day

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!

He'll be hearin' the preacher say



For the rest of your life you'll be Woody and wife

And the choir will sing along with

Ho-ho-ho ho ho! Ho-ho-ho ho ho!
