1
Way back in my childhood,
2
I heard a story so true
3
'bout a funny bunny stealing some food from a garden he knew.
4
His mamma got worried.
5
She told the bunny one day.
6
Better watch the farmer, heed what I say or he'll blow you away.
7
(Oh..) He know his mamma is right.
8
So why don't he do what she say?
9
Maybe he just don't dig it.
10
Got a bad habit, 'cause he's a rabbit.
11
Cop the crop, you start a hop ' boppin' and you
12
can't stop and cop and hop away.
13
In the garden where carrots are dense,
14
I found a hole in the fence.
15
Every mornin' when things are still,
16
Gonna crawl through the hole and eat my fill.
17
The other rabbits say I'm taking dares
18
Maybe they're right but who cares?
19
I'm a hooked rabbit!
20
Yeah I got a carrot habit.
21
[Cop the crop] Everyday I'm tryin' to avoid it.
22
[Cop the crop] What'll I do, I know that I enjoyed it.
23
[Cop the crop] Really and true, I'm beggin' mama's pardon.
24
[Cop the crop] All the time I'm headin' for the garden.
25
[Kip!]
26
Wee! Everything is free and the farmer's nappin'.
27
Every little carrot is a stolen delight,
28
and I just can't seem to get it right
29
So one day when I was thieving a meal
30
that farmer pulled a real creepy deal.
31
came at me with a big shot gun,
32
and I runnn!
33
Well I hustled really swiftly as I could.
34
Yeah speedin' through the air without a second to spare
35
I could hear the bullets flyin' through the air.
36
I could hear the words mamma told me.
37
If my momma knew then she would scold me.
38
Every part of me was truly feelin'
39
If I got away, I'd stop my stealin'
40
The farmer he really had sense.
41
He plugged up the hole in the fence.
42
Had me runnin' madly round the garden
43
looking for a hole to crawl in.
44
And there weren't a hole at all
45
Hey, Hey.
46
You pick up what I say?
47
Hard head rabbit, if you keep your habit.
48
Your mamma told ya when you hop, that if you stop to cop the crop.
49
He gets salty & guns for you
50
because carrots and you make a very good stew.
51
Son, he's got you on the run so you better find a quiet little corner where the farmer never comes.
52
You got plenty patches so you snuggle in between them,
53
Dig what I mean, cottontail you gotta keep your bean.
54
Run ya rabbit run. Now you had your fun.
55
Run before you feel the shot gun, run on, run.
56
Well know while you're in a panic you're forgettin' bout the garden gate.
57
All you got to do is lay around and wait.
58
Right now the farmer thinks he gotcha.
59
Really is itchin' to seal your fate.
60
Don't ya meet him, by the hole in the fence.
61
You can beat him, with some natural sense.
62
While he's over by the fence a while away,
63
keep on running 'til you're outta that gate.
64
Now the farmer really scared you to death.
65
You never figured he was out gunnin'.
66
Better pause a while for catchin' your breath.
67
You're gonna need it if your out runnin'
68
Maybe now remember what you're momma told ya.
69
Now you know the reason why your poppa scold ya.
70
So hit the gate and be ready to wail.
71
And when you do, you show the man your tail.
72
[Wi Woo] Hurry up better you change your plan.
73
[Wi Woo] Better run from the farmer man.
74
[Wi Woo] Ooo you best make tracks.
75
[Wi Woo] You dog-gone pesky hare.
76
[Wi Woo] Head for home, rabbit.
77
[Wi Woo] Got to wail, and show him your tail
78
[Wi Woo] Weee! Dont' ever roam, till you get home
79
Now you're goin' home to Mommsy and Popsy, and your little brothers Flopsie and Mopsie.
80
Are you're gonna do what Momma intended.
81
Now you know your carrot stealin' has ended.
82
I've heard the old story
83
One rabbit's foot will bring luck.
84
But they're much more lucky, luckier, natch, if a rabbit's attached!
