~ Our Bunny Songs ~

Song List:

Away in the Manger

Away in a manger, with hay for a bed,
the little sweet bunny lay down his soft head.
The stars in the night sky looked down where he lay,
the little sweet bunny asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the rabbit awakes,
but little sweet bunny no crying he makes.
I love thee, sweet bunny, look down from the sky
and stay by my hay bed til morning is nigh.

Be near me, sweet bunny, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear bunnies in thy tender care,
And take us to your hay, to munch with Thee there.

Take It Easy (The Eagles, 1973)

Well, I'm a hoppin' on the rug, and a givin' it a tug,
I've got seven bunnies on my mind,
four that wanna bite me, two that wanna fight me,
one says she's a friend of mine.

Take it easy, take it ea - sy,
don't let the sound of your own thumping drive you crazy.
Lighten up and eat some hay, don't even try to get away,
just find a bun to love each day and take it easy.

Well, I'm a standin' on a chair, a looking everywhere
and such a fine sight to see:
it's a bunny, that's right, all brown and white,
slowin' down to take a sniff at me.

Come on, ba - by, don't say may - be.
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.
We may lose and we may win though we will never be here again.
So hop on up, I'll groom your chin, take it easy.

Well, I'm a hoppin off the sofa, and chewing on a loafer,
got a world of trouble on my mind.
Lookin' for a sweetie who won't steal my wheatie,
she's so hard to find.

Take it easy, take it ea - sy,
don't let the sound of your own munching drive you crazy.
Come on, ba - by, don't say may - be.
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me.

Oh, we got it ea - sy,
we oughta take it ea - sy.

Songs from Evelyn Goldfield, contributed February 16, 2000

Songs, you will have to imagine the tunes since they kind of go with the words. And they are all very silly. Some are really gooey. My bunnies like gooey songs.

  1. Pretty Little Bun Bun (sung in a minor key, this really a huge favorite with all bunnies).

    Pretty Little Bun-Bun
    I love you
    Pretty Little Bun-Bun
    I love you true
    Pretty Little Bun-Bun,
    Sweet Little Bun-BUn
    Precious Little Bun-Bun
    I really love you.

  2. There must have been a bunny (this is Blue's farovite)
    Oh, there must have been a bunny
    A very special bunny
    A really great bunny
    Because wherever there is love, love, love
    Wherever there is love, love, love
    Wherever there is love
    You know there was a bunny

  3. The Farley Bean song ( my hubby's contribution, sung with gusto, Farley loves it).

    Oh, Farley Bean,
    Oh Farley Bean
    The most magnificent rabbit that
    The world has ever seen.

  4. Farley went a courtin' (sung to Froggie went a courtin')

    Farley went a courtin and he did ride,
    Uh hum
    Farley went a courtin' and he did ride
    Uh hum
    Farley went a courtin' and he did ride
    Sword and Pistol by his side,
    Uh Hum.

    He asked Babette, will you marry me?
    Uh Hum
    He asked sweet Babette, will you marry me?
    Uh, Hum, Uh Hum
    He said Babette if you marry me,
    We will be as Happy as we can be
    Uh Hum, Uh, Hum

And more to come soon!
