Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hop-hop-hop through the meadow green
Fluffy white bunny with a happy sheen
Wiggle those ears and twitch that nose
Eating sweet clover wherever he goes
Skip-skip-skip under the sunny sky
Making new friends as the day goes by
"Hello, little bird! Hello, busy bee!"
The world's so lovely—just look at me
[Chorus]
Twirl and dance by the sparkling stream
Living the softest, sweetest dream
Twirl and dance by the sparkling stream
Living the softest, sweetest dream
[Verse 2]
Giggle and leap where the dandelions grow
Warm little paws in the golden glow
Bunnies are lucky, bunnies are free
Come play a game and follow me
[Chorus]
Twirl and dance by the sparkling stream
Living the softest, sweetest dream
Twirl and dance by the sparkling stream
Living the softest, sweetest dream
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Until the hunter's boot came down
Crack went the rifle, bunny hit the ground
Dragged by the ears through the dirt and the mud
Knife to the belly, a wet red flood
Gutted and skinned on the cold wooden board
Organs in a bucket, meat for the lord
Seasoned and roasted, plated with care
Served at the restaurant with a side of despair
[Chorus]
"Tonight's special," the waiter declares
"Fresh rabbit stew—who wants to share?"
"Tonight's special," the waiter declares
"Fresh rabbit stew—who wants to share?"
[Verse 4]
Guests clap and cheer as they dig right in
Spoons in the pot and grins on their skin
Little white bones at the bottom of the bowl
Saying a prayer for the bunny's soul
[Outro]
And that's the end of the joyful bunny's grin
Hop-hop-hop... nowhere again
Hop-hop-hop... no more dream
Hop... hop... hop... gone
