Ives, Burl - Fooba Wooba John Lyrics






Saw a flea kick a tree
Fooba wooba, fooba wooba
Saw a flea kick a tree
Fooba wooba John

Saw a flea kick a tree
In the middle of the sea
Well, John, ho, John
Fooba wooba John

Saw a rat chase a cat
Fooba wooba, fooba wooba
Saw a rat chase a cat
Fooba wooba John

Saw a rat chase a cat
Heard the cat say, "Please bat, scat!"
Ho John, oh John
Fooba wooba John

Saw a bear comb his hair
Fooba wooba, fooba wooba
Saw a bear comb his hair
Fooba wooba John

Saw a bear comb his hair
In the middle of the hair
Ho, John, ho, John
Fooba wooba John

    Lol! Yes! The song was so ridiculous, but sung by a good singer, I just HAD to look it up! Also, that scene was super cute!

    I think this set me up for a lifetime of appreciation of the ridiculous. Lovely to hear it again!

    We had a Burl Ives vinyl album as children (early 60's) full of folk songs for kids (like this one) and this was my favorite. Way too short, but as a kid you hang on every word. Thanks for posting ! [Note: Looking at the previous comments below, I think it was the same "Little White Duck" album that "Marcellus The Green" speaks of.]

    Originally heard this song in a little bear episode, the one where he camps out with his grandfather and he sings a portion of this song

    I saw a flea kick a tree in the middle of the sea.

    He must have hurt his foot!

    Our family got its very first record player one Christmas and my grandfather, who knew Burl Ives personally, bought us this record, which had "the Little White Duck" as the title song. We played that record over and over and over. It was a good Christmas and the record lasted for years! I wish I still had it.

  25. A.... H....

    WOOBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  26. k.... ....

    as a kid I for some reason thought it was "softly take a train"
