John the Rabbit
Old John the Rabbit (oh yes!) Old John the Rabbit (oh yes!) Had a mighty bad habit (oh yes!) Of going to my garden (oh yes!) And eating all my peas (oh yes!) And cutting all my cabbage (oh yes!) He ate tomatoes (oh yes!) And sweet potatoes (oh yes!) And if I live (oh yes!) To see next fall (oh yes!) I won’t have (oh yes!) A garden at all! Hop Old Squirrel
Hop Old Squirrel, idle-dum idle-dum Hop Old Squirrel, idle-dum dee Hop Old Squirrel, idle-dum idle-dum Hop Old Squirrel, find a tree! |
