'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...
