        [Verse 1]
D'Bout a handsome little fox
DLet me sing you folks a yarn
Hey, Adiddle-dee, duddle-da
Doddle-do, doodle-Ddum
        [Verse 2]
D'Twas a splendid little fella
DFull of wit and grace and charm
Saaaaaay Azippy-zee, zappy-za
Yappy-yo, goggle-gDum
Well, like G7any little critter needing
DVittles for his little-uns
Well, he G7stole and he cheated
                              D      AN.C.
And he lied just to survive...
        [Chorus]
With a Ddoodle-dum, diddle-da
DDuddle-diddle-doodle-dum
DWith a doodle-dum, diddle-da
DDuddle-diddle-doodle-dum
DWith a zippy-zo, zippy-zay
DZippy-zappy-zoopy-zee
DWith a zippy-zo, zippy-zay
DZippy-zappy-zoopy-zee
Oh, Adoo-dah, doo-dah, day!
        [Verse 5]
Let me Dtake a little tick now
DTo color in the scene
D'Cross the valley lived 3 yokels
DName of Boggis, Bunce and Bean
Now these G73 crazy jackies
G7Had our hero on the run
Shot the Dtail off the cuss
DWith a fox-shooting gun
But that G7stylish little fox
G7Was clever as a whip
Dug as Dquick as a gopher
That was hyperack-a-Atayve
*do cool hand/arm movements*
        [Verse 6]
Now those D3 farmers sit
D'Twhere there's a hole 'twas once a hill
Singing Adiddle-dee, duddle-da
Doddle-do, doodle-Ddum
And as G7far as I can reckon
They're Dsitting up there still
                                      AN.C.
Singing zippy-zee, zappy-za, yoppy-yo...
N.C.
*stop playing at the end of this*
N.C.
[BEAN] What are you singing, Petey?
N.C.
[PETEY] Just, just making it up as I went along, really.
N.C.
[BEAN] That's just weak songwriting! You wrote a bad song, Petey!
*get cigarette flicked at you*
