Over - Fantastic Mr Fox

Petey: '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!

Other singers: Doodle-dum diddle-die doddle-diddle doodle-dum!

Petey: Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!

Other singers: Zippy-zo zippy-zay zippy-zappy zoopy-zee!

Petey: Doo-dah doo-day day…

Petey: 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

Other singers: Yeah!

Petey: 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…

Franklin Bean: What are you singing, Petey?

Petey: Just… just making it up as I went- as I went along, really

Franklin Bean: That’s just weak songwriting.

You wrote a bad song, Petey!
