Fantastic Mr. Fox AKA Petey's Song |
| 'Bout a handsome little fox |
| Let me sing you folks a yarn |
| Hey, diddle-dee, duddle-da |
| Doddle-do, doodle-dum |
| 'Twas a splendid little fella |
| Full of wit and grace and charm |
| Say zippy-zee, zappy-za |
| Yappy-yo, goggle-gum |
| 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 |
| With a zippy-zo, zippy-zay |
| Zippy-zappy-zoopy-zee |
| Oh, doo-dah, doo-dah, day! |
| Let me take a little tick now |
| To color in the scene |
| 'Cross the valley lived 3 yokels |
| Name of Boggis, Bunce and Bean |
| Now these 3 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 clever as a whip |
| Dug as quick as a gopher |
| That was hyperactive |
| Now those 3 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… |
| (spoken outro) |
| What are you singing, Petey? |
| Just, just making it up as I went along, really |
| That’s just weak songwriting! |
| You wrote a bad song, Petey! |
