Lyrics for Little Bunny Foo Foo
VERSE 1
Little bunny Foo Foo – Hoppin’ through the forest
Scoopin’ up the field mice and boppin’ ’em on the head
Down came the Good Fairy, and she said:
“Little bunny Foo Foo, I don’t wanna see you
Scoopin’ up the field mice and boppin’ ’em on the head!
I’ll give you three more chances, and if you don’t behave,
I’ll turn you into a goon!”
