Tone, take a pill and have a lie down.

The whole point is that it is a tongue twister and the 
capability/capcity of  a woodchuck to chuck wood is incidental.

So,

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood. 
Is the more correct form as in the tradition of the tongue twister it 
relies on the similarity bwteen woodchuck and would chuck.

As does the answer: A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck 
would chuck if a woodchuck would chuck wood.

The use of could instead of would spoils the twister.

And just to get it on topic, Groo would definitely not care if it were 
would or could. So long as he got to eat the woodchuck. Preferably with 
a little cheese dip.
