Lyrics:

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.

To serenade your lady Just find a tree that's shady And when you hear that 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.
