Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Bout a handsome little fox, let me sing you folks a yarn
Hey, diddle-dee, duddle-da, doddle-do, doodle-dum
'Twas a spendid little fella, full of wit and grace and charm
Say zippy-zee, zappy-za, yappy-yo, google-gum
[Verse 2]
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
(Doodle-dum, diddle-da, duddle-diddle-doodle-dum)
With a zippy-zo, zippy-zay, zippy-zappy-zoopy-zee
(Zippy-zo, zippy-zay, zippy-zappy-zoopy-zee)
Oh, doo-da, doo-da, day
[Verse 3]
Let me take a little tick now, to color in the scene
Cross the valley lived three yokels named Boggis, Bunce, and Bean
Now these three 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 as clever as a whip
Dug as quick as a gopher that was hyperactive
[Verse 4]
Now those three 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
