beaver wears his weird name like a crown
they named their child 'theo'
but he hates the name
and he worries that the kids in school would clown

beaver...
beaver likes his buddies
they play a lot each day
spend the days, goofin'
in the backyard
in amusing ways

he was forged
a toddler to a teen
and we watched the way
that he grew in time
and warmth was spread
as his tale was spun
ward and june cleaver love their son
always

and he shall be beaver
though he'll soon be a grown man
and he shall be beaver
though he's 'theo' in his family's plan...woo !
and he shall be beaver
and be known through the whole land
he...shall..be ...beaver

beaver's sent up to his room and frowns
his parent's patience dies
beaver..blows up and runs away
slips off the porch...zing ! ...then off he flies

but beaver...is tracked down by the cleavers
at whitey's house, they find
and pretty soon, they come hailing
and beaver...
beaver learns to mind

he was forged
a toddler to a teen
and we watched the way
that he grew in time
and warmth was spread
as his tale was spun
ward and june cleaver love their son
always

and he shall be beaver
though he'll soon be a grown man
and he shall be beaver
though he's 'theo' in his family's plan...woo !
and he shall be beaver
and be known through the whole land
he...shall..be ...beaver

and he shall be beaver............
