GUEST,C Dye Lyr Req: Little Bunny Foo Foo (44) Lyr Add: LITTLE BUNNY FOO-FOO 17 Aug 00


This version of bunny fufu wasn't so much sung as overdramatised:
MEAN OLD RABBIT
(sweetly)Every day the field mouse family went tripsy traipsy over the hills and through the valleys
(menacingly)High on the hill was a mean old RABBIT!
Blrblrblrblrblrbl BLEAH! (make hideous mean rabbit face with tongue sticking out)
And he said "I'm gonna take a little mousie
and beat-him-on-the-head-til-he's-dead."(very fast)
So he took a little mousie and he
beat-him-on-the-head-till-he's-dead.
(accompanied by snatch motion and pounding one closed fist on top of the other)
(Waft hands broadly) Down came the faaaairy,
and she said, "Mean old rabbit!"(shaking a finger at him)
"I'm only going to tell you this three times.
You leave those field mice alone, or I'll turn you into a goon!"


(not quite as cheerfully) So the next day
the field mice family went tripsy traipsy over the hills and through the valleys.
(same as above till the fairy says:)
"Mean old rabbit!
I told you once,
and I'm only gonna tell you TWO MORE Times,
You leave those field mice alone,
Or I'll turn you into a goon."

(Third day follows pattern, with mice getting less and less nonchalant, and fairy saying "I told you once, and I told you twice, and I'm only gonna tell you ONE more time")

So the next day the field mice family went tripsy
(ducking nervously between words)
traipsy...overthehills...and through the valleys.
High on the hill was a Mean Old RAbbit!
Blrblrblrblrlble BLEAH! (worst face yet!)
And he said "I'm gonna take a little mousie
and beathimontheheadtilhe'sdead,"
So he took a little mousie
and beathimontheheadtilhe'sdead."
Down came the faaaairy, and HE said (droop wrist and then catch yourself straighten it up again and go on.)
"Mean old Rabbit!
I told you once! And I told you twice!
And I told you THREE times to leave those field mice alone
and you didn't listen.
So I'm going to turn you into a goon.
(pause)
So she turned him into a goon.
And the moral of this story is:
Hare today, Goooon tomorrow.
