I wrote this song because
this pesky woodpecker
was making a lot of noise
every single day drilling his holes
all over my house-so another
song was born!
A TAP, TAP TAP,
AND A RAP, RAP, RAP
SOUNDS LIKE A KNOCKING
AT MY DOOR.
A TAP, TAP, TAP
AND A RAP, RAP, RAP,
I HEAR IT MORE AND MORE.
MELODY CHANGE
CHORUS
BUSY WOODPECKER ON MY HOUSE,
I HEAR YOU EVERY DAY TAPPING AWAY!!
PESKY WOODPECKER ON MY HOUSE,
I THINK YOU’VE COME TO STAY!!
MELODY CHANGE
RAP, TAP, TAP, TAP,
ALL DAY LONG,
RAP, TAP, TAP,
LIKE RHYTHM TO A SONG,
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR BUGS
OR BUILDING A NEST?
WILL YOU EVER REST?
2ND VERSE
TAP, TAP, TAP,
AND A RAP, RAP, RAP,
STILL HEAR THAT KNOCKING AT MY DOOR,
TAP, TAP, TAP, AND
A RAP, RAP, RAP,
CAN’T TAKE THAT SOUND ANYMORE!!
CHORUS
BUSY WOODPECKER,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE MY HOUSE
IS NOT A TREE?!!
PESKY WOODPECKER PLEASE FLY AWAY,
I FEAR YOU’RE HERE TO STAY!!
RAP, TAP, TAP,
THAT BIRD’S NOT LEAVING
RAP, TAP, TAP
TIME NOW TO GET EVEN
HE’S NOTHING MORE
THAN A FLYING DRILL,
HE’S LEFT MY HOUSE FULL OF HOLES TO FILL!!
3RD VERSE
RAP, TAP, TAP, TAP
THERE HE GOES AGAIN,
RAP, TAP, TAP,
HE’S NOT ACTING LIKE A FRIEND,
SINCE HE’S A PEST AND NOT MY BUD,
I’LL MAKE A CALL TO ELMER FUDD!!
HE’LL GET THAT WSASCALLY WOODPECKER, YA!!
