Pesky Wabbit (Opera/Musical)

INTRO – CHOIR

Hunt… hunt… hunt da wabbit…

[HUNTER] (DEEP)

Mountains tremble at my stride,

Storms hear my battle cry.

Tonight the trickster meets his fate —

By my hands, dinner on the plate.

HUNTER (DEEP)

I march across the valley with my helm of iron flame,

Seeking out the wabbit who has mocked my noble name.

Through forests black and frozen, through the shadows cold and deep,

I will chase that pesky wabbit waking or asleep.

HUNTER (DEEP)

No more tricks, no more games,

Face the fury of my name!

HUNTER (DEEP)

Imma kill da wabbit!, kill da wabbit

Hear my thunder in the sky!

Kill da wabbit! kill da wabbit

You can run but you can’t hide!...

Pesky wabbit!

kill da wabbit,now you will die!

Pesky wabbit, pesky wabbit, tonight your tricks expire!

WABBIT (HIGH)

“Oh mighty Hunter, bold and loud,

You stomp the earth, you shake the clouds —

But catching me? That’s quite a feat,

For I’m too clever, quick, and fleet.”

[HUNTER (DEEP)] Trickster wabbit, stand and face me..................

[WABBIT(HIGH)]I think you made a wrong turn in Albuquerqueee

HUNTER (DEEP)

Imma kill da wabbit!, kill da wabbit...

Hear my hunter’s cry!

You darn pesky wabbit! pesky wabbit

You can run...but you can’t hide!...

Imma kill da wabbit!, kill da wabbit!

Tonight begins the war!

DUET(DEEP/HIGH)

[HUNTER:] By frost and flame, I claim this fight!

[WABBIT:] By wit and speed, I dodge your might!...

[CHOIR] In thunder’s heart our fates collide,

Hunter and Wabbit — side by side!

WABBIT (HIGH)

Oh mighty Hunter, fierce and strong…

You chased me hard, but chased me wrong.

Our battles won, you’re not so clever —

This wabbit will be dodging you forever.

HUNTER (DEEP)

CURSE YOU, WABBIT…

…’til our next endeavor.

CHOIR

Hunt… hunt… hunt… da wabbit…

Hunt… hunt… hunt… da wabbit…
