Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

"Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" is a Disney song from the 1946 film Song of the South. It was sung by Uncle Remus as a segue to the first animated Brer Rabbit segment.

Despite Song of the South's disownment by Disney due to its racial insensitivity, "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" is the only element from it that has still been actively marketed, and it remains a well-known song, appearing in various media, most notably at Splash Mountain and, prior to that, as the finale for the Mickey Mouse Revue. It was also featured in The Muppet Show in the Alan Arkin episode.

In the early years of the Disney Channel, an instrumental version of the song was often used as background music for bumpers and promos.

Rap Lyrics from Disneyland Fun

 * Well, you know it is a thrill
 * When you go down hill
 * 'Cause you're riding on a mountain
 * Of your own freewill
 * And you're zippin' in a flash
 * On a daring dash
 * Down the waterfall so rapid
 * That you go "Splish Splash"
 * Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip
 * Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip
 * Zip, zip, zip, zip-a-dee-doo-dah
 * Zip, zip, zip, zip-a-dee-do-dah-day
