Daffy Duck's Rhapsody - Mel Blanc/Billy May Orchestra
Greetings
My name is Daffy
There's no other duck like me
Because I'm so daffy
And the reason I'm daffy
And so gosh-derned riff-raffy
And so screwy and laffy
Is because those hunters won't leave me alone
Oh why don't they hunt some other animal for a change
So that I won't have to end up on a kitchen range
But no duck hunting's all the rage and they won't let me be
And I'm so full of bullets I'm lit up like a Christmas tree
There's so much I'd like to do if I just had the chance
I'd like to play and romp and even sing and do a dance
I would read the latest book
Go swimming in the babbling brook
I'd like to fly the seven seas
Play hide and seek among the trees
I'd play hop scotch and double dutch
And this and that and things and such
I know that isn't asking much
But all these things I daresn't touch
It's bang Bang Here and bang Bang There
Bullets flying everywhere
I can't stand it any longer
I get weak and they get stronger
Hunters to the right of me
Hunters to the left I see
Over hill and over dale
Bullets whizzing past my tail
There's no rest and there's no peace
Won't this shooting ever cease
Morning noon and through the night
That's why I look such a fright
Bang Bang Bang
I'm only sixteen yards ahead
Bang Bang Bang
They're shooting straight at me
Hoo Hoo Hoo
They won't let up until I'm dead
Hoo Hoo Hoo
Why can't they let me be
Why don't they hunt big wild moose
Or chase a Ranger on the loose
There's possums chipmunks caribou
Or rabbits for a rabbit stew
Rats and squirrels porcupines
Monkeys swinging on the vines
Leopards with or without spots
Wild cats with or without dots
Elephants badgers kangaroos
Lions tigers cows that moo
Wolf and mice and praire ox
Red and grey and silver fox
Daffy They drive me daffy
Those hunters with their great big guns
They're all uncles cousins fathers sons
Crazy They got me hazy
With all that rootin'-flootin'-hootin'-tootin'-high-falootin' noisy shootin'
Closer They're gettin' closer
With shot-guns pistols bows and arrows riffles
Knives and other deadly trifles
Scram now While I'm still able
You're nutty to think that I'm gonna
End up on somebody's dinner table
Sooooo
Good-bye
So long now
