“Don’t Be the Bunny (live)”

A little bunny in the meadow
Is nibbling grass without a care
He’s so delightful as he hops for you
You say “Hi bunny”, and he stops for you
You pull your trigger, and he drops for you
Goodbye, bunny boo
Hello rabbit stew
Get me, boys?
(You tell ’em, boss!)

Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the stew
Don’t be the dinner
You’ve got better things to do
It ain’t no joke
That’s why it’s funny
So take the cue
Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the bunny

A little bunny at a toll booth
He needs a measly fifty cents
Our little bunny didn’t plan ahead, hm
Poor bunny simply doesn’t have the bread
He begs for mercy, but gets jail instead
Hasenpfeffer’s in the air
As the bunny gets the chair
See the moral, people?
(Clear as day, boss!)

Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the dope
Don’t be the loser
You’re much better than that, Hope
You’re born to power
You’re in the money
Advice to you
Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the bunny

A little bunny in a shoebox
He thinks he’s found a brand new home
So snug and cosy on your closet floor
And then you open up your closet door
Now what’s that bunny in my closet for?
With a mallet and some clippers
You find out—new bunny slippers, ha ha
Grasp the message, staff?
(Right behind you, boss)

Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the shoe
You don’t get stepped on
No, the one who steps is you
You’re steppin’ up
To where it’s sunny
Step on the poor
Don’t be the bunny
Don’t be the bunny
