Jump Little Rabbit Songtext

Did I ever tell you about the time I was changed into a rabbit? That's right I was. Changed into a rabbit by the midnight owl. That's right the midnight owl. If you don't believe me - ask the red fox, he saw it. Shook him so bad he ran tucky-tailed and didn't even chase me that night. And you know he like to chase rabbit. How I come to be there is another story. I was trying to get home, wandering the flat tire road when the midnight owl swoops over my shoulder, wings flappin' in my ear, I jumped right outta my skin. I think that's how he did it - I jumped right outta my skin. Rabbit looking for a place to hide? he jumped right in. Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump So there I was - scared little rabbit on a flat tire road looking for a place to hide. All I know about rabbits I seen on cartoon TV. Rabbit eats a carrot. But what eats a rabbit? I'll tell you what eats a rabbit! Shaky-shake eats a rabbit. I'm there by the side of the road when I hear a shaky-shake sliding up from the ditch. A low slow snaky sound. Louder shaky-shake - louder shaky-shake. Slithers up beside me, white fangs hanging in the moonlight, poison for my neck. Me just a little rabbit. I don't know what to do when a shaky-shake moves. Then I hear the wind howl "jump little rabbit". I jumped so fast you never saw the tall grass move. Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Oh I am down the road now hoppin' like popcorn. My heart beating fast when I hear a "wanna-squish-you" coming straight away at me. I am stop stuck in my tracks with these two blinding eyes that are blazing at me now. And I hear these big black whispers with my long rabbit ears sayin' "wish I wanna squish ya". "wish I wanna squish ya". I hear the whispers getting closer and closer and I am burned on the spot when it rolls on top of me? I am just a little rabbit and I don't know what to do when a "wanna squish ya" moves. Then I hear the wind howl "jump little rabbit". I jumped so high you never saw my shadow land. Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump I am across the field looking for a little hidey hole wishing I was at home in my safe slugabed. A hellahowl and the fox goes running by but he's no time for chasing me the hellahowl's a chasing him - the fox gives a wink instead and climbs inside the moor. Oh I wish I could rest - my heart pounding in my chest. But tonight is just for jumping for hopping not no stopping. The hellahowls on me the yellow in his tooth his snarls got me cornered by the beetle berry tree. And I am just a little rabbit and I don't know what to do when hellahowl moves. Then I hear the wind howl? so I jumped into the tree where he couldn't follow me. Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump And that is how I found the midnight owl. Hoo Hoo Who sleeps in the beetle berry tree. I was just a little rabbit. But he woke with such a start he jumped right outta his skin. And that's how I did you see I jumped right in. I flew to the moor where I found the red fox and I can tell ya he was sure surprised to see the likes of me. He winks and shakes me once around the moor for old time's sake. Then I dropped him off at six o'clock. He and I agreed we'd get our stories straight. We got our stories straight and I am sticking to it now. I was changed into a rabbit but please don't ask me how. Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Ooooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Jump little rabbit jump Jump little rabbit!
