This version by: The Andrews Sisters

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 bumble bee
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
Happy little Woodpecker Song...

Walter Lantz created his biggest Cartoon figure creation: Woody Woodpecker, in 1941.

If you noticed on Song 11: Reginella Campagnole was released in 1939,
and soon became a huge hit from Italy to America,
Reginella Campagnole might be a good creative source for the famous Woody Woodpecker.
