'Bout a handsome little fox let me sing you folks a yarn
Hey, diddle-dee daddle-da doddle-do doodle-dum!
'Twas a splendid little feller full of wit 'n' grace 'n' charm
Say, zippy-zee zappa-za yappy-yo doodle-dum!
Well, like any little critter needin' vittels for his littl'uns
Well, he stole, and he cheated, and he lied just to survive
With a doodle-dum diddle-die doddle-diddle doodle-dum!
(Doodle-dum diddle-die doddle-diddle doodle-dum!) （
Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!
(Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!) （
Doo-dah doo-dah day
Let me take a little tick now to color in the scene
'Cross the valley lived three yokels name of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean
Now these three crazy jackies had our hero on the run
Shot the tail off the cuss with a fox-shootin' gun
But that stylish little fox was as clever as a whip
Dug as quick as a gopher that was hyper-ack-a-tive
Now those three farmers sit
'Twhere there's a hole 'twas once a hill
Singin' diddle-dee daddle-da doddle-do doodle-dum!
And as far as I can reckon
They're a-settin' up there still
Singin' zippy-zee zappa-za yappy-yo!
