Lyrics Song: What a Happy to Do - John Edmond

See the pretty Green wood hoopoes clambering in that tre
Sometimes called the monkey birds because of agility
They all flock together in a great big crowd
They cackle like ladies tellin' jokes and laughin' out so loud
Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do
Oh what a happy to do
They give off a kind of a smell when threatened by attack
From a giant monitor lizard or a spotted genet or serval cat
With long red beaks lookin' for eats noisy as can be
They work together as a team a close knit family
Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do
Then the head of the family selects himself a mate
They make a nest in a hollow tree and mama she's just got to wait
Until her eggs all hatch out then he family does the chore
Of feeding mama's hungry chicks when they cry for more
Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do
If you're out in the forest and you hear a crackling sound
Look for the Green wood hoopoes they're all bound to be around
Do not be distracted it isn't a big melee
It's not a bunch of old ladies tellin jokes and havin' tea
Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do
Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do

Cackle ackle, cakle ackle, cackle ackle, cackle ackle
The pretty Green wood hoopoe Oh what a happy to do
