Woodchuck Rappin’

How much wood woulda woodchuck chuck

If a woodchuck would

Chuck wood?

 

I wanna know shoulda Wood-duck duck

If a Chuck chuck wood

At a Wood-duck?

 

Chuckwood at a skunk and a stinkin’ Skunk stunk,

Chuckwood at a Mink.

Would da Mink stink?

 

Chuck dat shuck ‘bout wood-chuckin Woodchuck!

Woodchuck won’t

Chuck wood!

 

Whole peck a wood would a Woodpecka peck.

Woodpecka would

Peck wood!

 

Crawdad kid call a Crawdad Dad,

Do a Crawdad call his ma,

Craw-Ma?

 

Crow cram a Crawdad down a baby Crow craw!

With a crawdad in his craw,

Could a Crow caw?

 

Stickin’ on a stick by three sticky toe

Throat throbbin’ three-toed

Tree-toad!

 

Toad-stick stickin out a pawpaw tree

Tree-treadin’, pawpawin’

Tree-toad.

 

Do a Possum paw a pawpaw out another Possum paw,

When a Possum paw a pawpaw

With his paw?

 

Would a Possum paw pinch by a steel snap-trap

Make a Possum pause

‘Cause his paw’s raw?

 

Tuckered out hearin’ about Wood-duck, Skunk stunk,

Woodpecka, Tree-toad,

Mink-stink?

 

Enuffa dat stuff about Possum with a paw-paw,

Crawdad, Crow-craw,

Craw-Ma!
