Woodpecker Song
The Andrews Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 bumblebee
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 his rhythm
And let your hearts beat with 'im




Just listen to that
Tick-a tick tick tick-a tick tick

How big of a doosh would you have to be to not love this? This song is so pretty it makes me cry. Today music is disgusting violent crap or just somebody whining about some crap. This is beauty. This is music.
