THE WOODPECKER SONG
by Wayne Potash

I’m a little bug, out of sight in a tree
There’s a hungry woodpecker, she’s lookin’ for me
She’s diggin’ a hole, in this old dead tree
If she finds me hiding, for my life I will plea

(Chorus)
Don’t eat me woodpecker, I’ve got a candy bar for you
Don’t eat me woodpecker, I’ve got a lollipop too
How about same birthday cake, take it from me
Wash it down with this milkshake and let me go free


She’s coming much closer, her tapping I hear
If I try to escape, she’ll catch me I fear
She’s chipping big chunks of bark off this tree
If she finds me hiding, for my life I will plea (repeat chorus)

Someone put up a bird feeder with seed
The woodpecker saw it and decided to leave
I’m moving in a hurry, but before I do
I’m gonna sit down and eat all this food

Goodbye woodpecker, I’ll eat this candy bar for you
Goodbye woodpecker, I’ll eat this lollipop too
You know that this birthday cake tastes good to me
I’ll wash it down with this milkshake ‘cause now I am free
