CHORUS:

There's a hole in the middle of the tree

There's a hole, there's a hole

There's a hole in the middle of the tree.

There's a bark beetle in the hole in the middle of the tree.

There's a buzzing bumblebee on the bark beetle in the hole

in the middle of the tree.

There's a buzzing bumblebee on the bark beetle in the hole

in the middle of the tree.

CHORUS

There's a teeny-weeny mouse on the buzzing bumblebee on the

bark beetle in the hole in the middle of the tree.

There's a teeny-weeny mouse on the buzzing bumblebee on the

bark beetle in the hole in the middle of the tree.

There's a red-headed woodpecker on the teeny mouse on the

buzzing bumblebee on the bark beetle in the hole in the middle of

There's a red-headed woodpecker on the teeny mouse on the

buzzing bumblebee on the bark beetle in the hole in the middle of
