Lyrics
He’s up each morning bright and early
To wake up all the neighborhood
To bring to every boy and girlie
His happy serenade on wood
Hear him pickin’ out a melody
Peck, peck, peckin’ at the same old tree
He’s as happy as a bumble bee
All day long
To serenade your lady
Just find a tree that’s shady
And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick
Tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick
Sing right along
Come on and try this rhythm
And let your hearts beat with ‘im
Just listen to that tick-a-tick-tick
Tick-a-tick-tick happy little Woodpecker Song
