Jarvis Cocker - Fantastic Mr. Fox AKA Petey's Song lyrics

'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

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!
