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! The Woody Woodpecker song
