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

'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!
