If a woodchuck would chuck wood how much wood would a woodchuck chuck as a woodchuck would chuck wood??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.43.111.157 (talk) 17:34, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
The Real Answer
editA so-called woodchuck (correctly speaking, a groundhog) would chuck - that is, throw - as much as the woodchuck in question was physically able to chuck, if woodchucks in general had the capability and presumably, the motivation, to chuck wood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nolan Perry (talk • contribs) 16:23, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

editAccording to Gyro Gearloose, a well known genius and personal friend of Donald Duck for over 60 years, the answer is "16 board feet".
This was removed, but would be fine to add if there is a source supporting it, and if modified to avoid sounding like a real-world statement. BD2412 T 15:36, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
Suggestion - add a new version or correct the wording of the current version
editThe Ragtime Bob Roberts recording clearly sounds like "would chuck wood" not "could chuck wood". Source here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-3DpgckiLA&t=72s In its entirety Ragtime Bob Roberts sings: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood?
Reasons without any sources, but might be useful for researching or writing a supporting article: The rhyme is a play on the words "wood", "would", "woodchuck" and "would chuck". It doesn't make sense that the author would throw in a random "could". Also woodchucks CAN chuck wood so it isn't a matter if they could or couldn't its a matter of if they would or wouldn't.
