Song of the South - Three Classic Disney Songs (With Lyrics!)

Song of the South, released in 1946, was a classic Disney movie which contained some of the most well known Disney songs. Unfortunately, Song of the South is no longer being distributed in the United States and many people can no longer enjoy such a great movie and its great songs.

Song of the South and its animated sequences featuring Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, and Br'er Bear, are the inspiration behind the Walt Disney World/Disneyland attraction, Splash Mountain. In fact, if you go on the ride, you will hear these songs.

This video contains three of the classic songs from the movie ('Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah', 'How Do You Do?', 'Everybody Has A Laughing Place') plus the final ending sequence of the movie.



1. Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual
Ev'rything is satisfactual
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day, yes sir!

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual
Ev'rything is satisfactual
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, feeling this way

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It is the truth, it's actual... huh?
Where is that bluebird? Mm-hm!
Ev'rything is satisfactual
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!




2. How Do You Do?
How do you do? Fine! A friendly greetin'.
How do you do? Say it when you're meetin'.
How do you do? With everyone repeatin':
Pretty good, sure as you're born.

What goes up is sure to come down,
Penny lost is a penny found,
I'll "howdy" you, you'll "howdy" back,
This for that an' tit for tat.

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

Uncle Remus:
Stop jumpin', Br'er Rabbit,
you'll run out of breath.
Why don't you sit down an' calm yourself?

Brer Rabbit:
Well the grasshopper jump,
and so do the flea.
I do what I like, and I suits me!

[Repeat Chorus]

Uncle Remus:
The weather's good, the fishin's fine.
Now what do you do with all your time?

Brer Rabbit:
Oh, I zigs and I zags, I to's and I fro's.
That's what you're askin'
and that's what you knows.

[Repeat Chorus]

Brer Frog:
Mind now, Br'er Rabbit, better mend your ways.
You's headin' for trouble one of these days.

Uncle Remus:
Warnin' that rabbit is wastin' your breath!

Brer Rabbit:
Don't worry about me;
I can take care of myself!




3. Everybody Has A Laughing Place
Hee, hee, hee, hee, ha, ha, ha!
Boy am I in luck!
I think about my laughin' place,
Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk! Ha-yuk, yuk!

Everybody's got a laughin' place,
A laughin' place, to go ho-ho!
Take a frown, turn it upside-down,
And you'll find yours I know ho-ho!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Boy am I in luck!
I think about my laughin' place,
Ha-yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk!

Everybody's got a laughin' place,
A laughin' place, to go ho-ho!
Take a frown, turn it upside-down,
And you'll find yours I know ho-ho!

I agree 100% I do not understand how this movie is supposed to be racist. People who think that obviously haven't seen this movie.

[conversely456]

I'm a kid and happen to love this movie. I don't understand how anyone can call this 'racist'. I'm lucky enough to have grandparents who own a copy of this, so I'm able to watch it every time I visit them, but I'm so annoyed that I can't buy this because it's supposedly 'racist' and isn't sold anymore. :(

[seth lewis]

Not racist...in total agreement...risky though...

[sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1962 {December 19th} Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans performed "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" on late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'...

One month earlier on Nov. 17th it entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #8

The song was originally featured in the 1946 Walt Disney film "Song of the South" {was performed by James Baskett}

Johnny Mercer covered it in 1947; his version reached #8

R.I.P. Mr. Disney {1901 - 1966}, Mr. Mercer {1909 - 1976}, and Mr. Baskett {1904 - 1948}

[Linda LaSalla]

ignorant people see it as racist, it is a shame...you would think that we have come a long way past that, but evidently Disney doesn't see it that way...
