“Little Bunny Foo Foo”
 
1.
Little Bunny Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest,
Scooping up the field mice and
Boppin’ ’em on the head!(spoken)
Down came the Good Fairy, and she said:“Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don’t want to see you,
Scooping up the field mice and
Boppin’ ’em on the head!”(spoken)
“I’ll give you three chances,
and if you don’t behave I’ll turn you into a goon!”
