Pearl Bailey - Lack of Education Lyrics

You listen good Tod, because it's either education or elimination!
Now, if you're so foxy and old Chief is so dumb
Then why does that hound get the fox on the run?
'Cause he's got the hunter
And the hunter's got the gun
Ka-blam, elimination!
Lack of education!

If you pal around with that Copper hound
You'll wind up hanging on the wall
Keep you nose to the wind
And you keep your skin
'Cause you won't be home
When the hunter comes to call

Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track me down.
Well, Copper, he's my best friend.

Ho ho, your best friend!
Now, Copper's gonna do what he's been told.
Suppose he won't chase no fox in no fox hole?
Along comes the hunter with a buck shot load.

Ka-ka-blam!
Elimination
Lack of education!
You better believe it, Tod! Yessiree!
