The Bell-Hops of the Cabbage Patch

Verse 1

Those wretched little bunnies

They've ravaged every row

They've nibbled all my cabbages

and left me naught to show

The carrots lie in tatters

the lettuce has been chewed

They've sampled every radish

and declared the turnips good

Chorus

Oh those wretched little bunnies

May they hop somewhere else

They've made my garden look

like a salad bar for elves

I'll catch them in the morning

I'll set a trap tonight

I'll chase them past the chicken coop

I'll set the fence just right

Verse 2

I planted in the springtime

with blisters on my hands

I watered hoed and prayed for rain

to bless my fertile lands

But now beneath the moonlight

what greets my weary eyes

A dozen fluffy bandits

with my dinner in their pies

Chorus

Oh those wretched little bunnies

May they hop somewhere else

They've made my garden look

like a salad bar for elves

I'll catch them in the morning

I'll set a trap tonight

I'll chase them past the chicken coop

I'll set the fence just right

Bridge

She says aren't they adorable

Adorable they're thieves

They've stolen all my spinach

while I'm down on my knees

That little one has eaten

half a pumpkin and a pea

He's not a little darling

he's a thief as plain can be

Verse 3

But if I raise this weapon

will those little creatures flee

That one has pink and trembling ears

that one is watching me

No I cannot harm them

No I cannot make them cry

Let them feast upon the garden

let the garden slowly die

Final Chorus

Those wretched little bunnies

How sweetly they devour

They've conquered every vegetable

in less than half an hour

Take the beans you little rascals

take the peas and take the corn

They've ruined all my garden

and my wife has ruined

My wife has ruined me
