How Do You Do? Lyrics

[Dialogue: Uncle Remus]
I was just thinkin' how the flowers and critters was curious things
They can look in your heart an' tell when it sings
If it's whistlin' a tune or singin' a song
An' they all say "howdy" when you come along

[Verse 1: Critters, Br'er Rabbit, Critters & Br’er Rabbit]
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 your 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: Br'er Rabbit, Uncle Remus]
How do you do?
Fine, how are you?
How you come on?
Pretty good, sure as you're born

[Verse 2: Uncle Remus, Br’er Rabbit]
Stop jumpin', Br'er Rabbit
You’ll run out of breath
Why don't you sit down and calm yourself?
Well the grasshopper jump
And so do the flea
I do what I like, and I suits mе!

[Chorus: Uncle Remus, Possums, Br'er Rabbit]
How do you do?
Fine, how are you?
How you come on?
Prеtty good, sure as you're born

[Verse 3: Uncle Remus, Br'er Rabbit]
The weather's good, the fishin's fine
Now what do you do with all your time?
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

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Terrapin/Br'er Porcupine section
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!

Br'er Rabbit and Mr. Bluebird section
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
