He's up each morning bright and early 
To wake up all the neighborhood 
To bring to ev'ry 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 
Come on and try that rhythm 

Just let your heart beat with 'I'm 
And when you hear that tick-a-tick-tick, 
Tick-a-tick-tick, tick-a-tick-tick, 
Sing right along... 
To serenade your lady 
Just find a tree that's shady 
And listen to that tick-a-tick-tick, 
Tick-a-tick-tick happy little Woodpecker Song!
