Lack of Education - Pearl Bailey

It’s either education or elimination!

Now if you’re so foxy

And old Chief’s so dumb

Then why does that hound get the fox on the run?

'Cause he’s got the hunter

And the hunter’s got the gun

Ka-blam!

Elimination!

Lack of education!

(sung)

If you pal around with that Copper hound

You’ll wind up hanging on the wall

Keep your nose to the wind

And you’ll keep your skin

'Cause you won’t be home when the hunter comes to call!

(spoken)

Oh, Big Mama.

I know Copper would never track me down.

Well, Copper,

he’s my best friend!

Ha ha!

Your best friend?

Now Copper’s gonna do what he’s been told.

Supposed to chase old fox in old fox hole.

Then along comes the hunter with a

buckshot load…

K-k-ka-blam!

Elimination!

Lack of education

You better believe it, Tod.

Yes, siree

You mean Copper is gonna be my enemy?

Hey!

Kid, you better step over here and take a good look

(DINKY opens the shed door to reveal various animal skins)

Why… why that’s awful!

Those poor things!

I’m sorry, Tod.

Honey, Copper’s gonna come back a trained huntin' dog.

A real killer

Oh no, not my friend Copper.

He won’t ever change

I hope you’re right, Tod

And we’ll keep on being friends forever.

Won’t we, Big Mama?

Darlin', forever is a long, long time.

And time has a way of changing things
