I put my finger in the woodpecker’s hole,
And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul!
Take it out, take it out, take it out,
REMOVE IT!”
I removed my finger from the woodpecker’s hole,
And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul,
Put it back, put it back, put it back,
REPLACE IT!”
I replaced my finger in the woodpecker’s hole,
And the woodpecker said, “God Bless my soul!
Turn it round, turn it round, turn it round,
REVOLVE IT!”

And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul,
Turn it back, turn it back, turn it back,

And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul,
In and out, in and out, in and out,
RECIPROCATE IT!

And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul,
Slow it down, slow it down, slow it down,
RETARD IT!

And the woodpecker said, “God bless my soul,
Once again, once again, once again,

Let it go, let it go, let it go,
