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 be-cause those hunters won't leave me a-lone.
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.
Buuuut 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 dasn'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 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
Yes, possums, chipmunks, caribou
Or rabbit for a rabbit stew
Rats and squirrels, porcupines
Monkeys swinging on the vine
Leopards with or without spots
Wild cats with or without dots
Elephant, 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 those great big guns
They're all-a uncles, cousins, fathers, sons
Crazy! They got me hazy
With all that rootin'-flootin'-hootin'-tootin'-high-galootin' noisy shootin'
Closer! They're gettin' closer
With shot-guns, pistols, bows and arrows, riffles, knives, and other deadly triffles
Scram now! While I'm still able
You're nothing to think that I'm gonna end up on somebody's dinner table
Sooooo, Good-bye!
So long now!
woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo, woo-hoo...
