Lyrics
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
That’s the woody woodpecker song
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
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
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
That’s the woody woodpecker tune
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
Makes the other woodpeckers swoon
Tho’ it doesn’t make sense
To the dull and the dense
All the lady woodpeckers long for
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha
That’s the wood woodpecker song
