The Splash Mountain ride contains a number of songs that are part of the overall attraction. One of those songs is How Do You Do, which is a song featured in the movie Song of the South. The Splash Mountain rides at Walt Disney World, Disneyland California, and Tokyo Disneyland feature the song as part of the ride.

The Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Version

The Walt Disney World version of the water log ride features the song during the starting scene of the interior portion of the attraction. The How Do You Do song is used to tell the audience of the adventure that Brer Rabbit is about to take. By playing an essential role in the opening portion of the ride, the song has become one of the more memorable songs for the attraction.

The How Do You Do Lyrics

After researching the lyrics for the song, we found that the Song of the South website had a quality listing of the lyrics and more information about the film. We double checked their lyrics with the song, and it matches up perfectly. Below is a listing of the lyrics.

How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do? Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do? With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.

What goes up is sure to come down.
A penny lost is a penny found.
How do you do?
And you howdy back.
A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

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

Stop jumpin' around,
You'll run out of breath!
Why don't you sit back
And calm yourself?

You can hurry on now if you must.
We'll do what we like, 'cause...
That suits us.

How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.
How do you do? Mighty pleasant greetin'
How do you do? Say it when you're meetin'
How do you do? With every one repeatin'
Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

The weather is good, the fishin' is fine.
What do we do with all of our time?

Well we sit and we think and we wiggle our toes.
That's what you ask us, that's what we know!

Pretty good sure as you're born.
Pretty good sure as you're born.

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

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!

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.
