How Do You Do?

Words and Music by Dan Robert Allshouse
©1984 Walt Disney Music Company

How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do? Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do? With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.

What goes up is sure to come down.
A penny lost is a penny found.
How do you do?
And you howdy back.
A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

How do you do?
Fine, how are you?
How you come on?
Pretty good sure as you're born.

Stop jumpin' around,
You'll run out of breath!
Why don't you sit back
And calm yourself?

You can hurry on now if you must.
We'll do what we like, 'cause...
That suits us.

SOLO (by Thurl Ravenscroft):
How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do? Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do? With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

The weather is good, the fishin' is fine.
What do we do with all of our time?

Well we sit and we think and we wiggle our toes.
That's what you ask us, that's what we know!

Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

How do you do? Fine, how are you?
How you come on?
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

Brer Rabbit and Brer Terrapin:

I'm lookin' for a little more adventure,
I'm headin' for a little bit of fun now,
I'm hopin' for a little more excitement,
Time to be movin' along!

I've had enough of this ol' briar patch,
I think an adventure's about to hatch,
I'm movin' on, say goodbye to me,
Down at the Laughin' Place is where I'll be!

I'm lookin' for a little more adventure,
I'm headin' for a little bit of fun now,
I'm hopin' for a little more excitement,
Time to be movin' along!

I nailed up my door, I'll see you around,
The Laughin' Place is where I'm found!
You're headin' out and not comin' back,
But I'm comin' too, I've packed my sack!

I'm headin' for a little bit of fun now,
Time to be movin' along.
Time to be movin' along!

He's lookin' for a little more adventure.
But he's headin' for a little bit of trouble.
He's headin' for a little bit of danger.
Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.

Careful Brer Rabbit better mend your ways,
You're headed for trouble one of these days!
Warnin' this rabbit I'm afraid is a waste,
He's headin' for the Laughing Place.
Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.

He's lookin' for a little more adventure.
But he's headin' for a little bit of trouble.
He's headin' for a little bit of danger.
Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.
Time to be turning around.

Everybody Has A Laughing Place

Ha Ha Ha Ha, Ho Ho Ho!
Boy are we in luck!
We're visiting our Laughing Place
Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk!
Oh Ho Ho,

Everybody's got a Laughing Place
A Laughing Place to go-ho-ho.
Take your frown, turn it upside-down
And you'll find yours we know-ho-ho!

Honey and rainbows on our way.
We laugh because our work is play.
Boy are we in luck!
We're visiting our Laughing Place
Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk!
Ho Ho Ho,

Everybody's got a Laughing Place
A Laughing Place to go-ho-ho.
Take a smile there, for a while and
You'll find yours we know-ho-ho!

Honey and rainbows on your way.
Take that frown, turn it upside-down
And soon you'll find you're here to stay.

Everybody's got a Laughing Place
A Laughing Place to go-ho-ho.
Come on in, give us all a grin,
And you'll find yours I know-ho-ho!

Laughing is how we spend our day.
Plenty o' fun is what we make.
Boy are we in luck.
We're visiting our Laughing Place.
Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk Yuk!
Oh ho ho,

Everybody's got a Laughing Place
A Laughing Place to go-ho-ho.
We've found one and it's filled with fun
And you'll find yours we know-ho-ho.

Everybody's got a laughing place (high ho!).
A laughing place to go-ho-ho! (high ho!).
Take that frown, turn it upside down
And you'll find yours we say-hey-hey.
And soon you'll find you're here to stay!

Burrow's Lament

What can poor Brer Rabbit do,
To keep from becoming Rabbit Stew?
Warnin' Brer Rabbit is wastin' my breath!
That rabbit is facin' certain death!

Don't you go to the Laughin' Place
Or the fox will get you too!

Stay away from the Laughin' Place!
You must beware, the fox is there!
Don't go in!

Old Brer Fox has got his way
At the Laughin' Place this very day!

Sooner or Later

Note: Sooner or Later is no longer played on the ride; it was replaced by "Burrow's Lament" but has been kept here for historical purposes.

Sooner or Later that rabbit is gonna come home (he's comin')
I'll betcha, I'll betcha that he'll get there.
You wait and see! (Will he, mama?)

Sooner or Later Brer Fox'll be letting him go (ooh, ooh)
I'll betcha (ooh, ooh) Brer Rabbit's gonna free him.
You wait and see! (You wait and see.)

He's gonna trick ol' Brer Fox
Get away by his talks
Matter-of-factly I don't know exactly when. (aah, aah)

But Sooner or Later that rabbit is gonna come home
(gonna come home)
He's learned his lesson again.

He's gonna fool ol' Brer Bear (yeah!)
Escape from his lair (he is!)
Matter-of-factly I don't know exactly when. (Sooner or Later!)

But Sooner or Later that rabbit is gonna come home
(gonna come home)
He's learned his lesson again!

Sooner or Later that rabbit is gonna come home (he's comin')
I'll betcha, I'll betcha that he'll get there.
You wait and see! (Will he, mama?)

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
My oh my, what a wonderful day!
Welcoming back Brer Rabbit today.
We always knew that he'd get away!

He's had enough of movin' on now.
It's where he's born and bred in.
The briar patch is where he's headin'.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
My oh my, what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading our way.
We never doubted he'd get away!

Moving on taught him a lesson.
You've learned it well, Brer Rabbit.
Gettin' caught's a nasty habit.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feeling, feeling this way!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
It's a time for celebratin' today!
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Gathered together this wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Brer Fox and Brer Bear are gonna get it today.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
That hungry gator's gettin' his way!

Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder.
It's the truth, it's actual.
Everything is satisfactual.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
Wonderful feelling, wonderful day!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay!
My oh my what a wonderful day!

Brer Rabbit Solo:

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-Ay,
Home sweet home is the lesson today.
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-Ay,
I'm glad to be here and i'm sure gonna stay!

I'm through with moving on now,
It's where I'm born and bred in,
The briar patch is where i'm headin'!
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-A-Dee-Ay,
I'm back in my home now and I'm sure gonna stay!
