See the little bunnies sleeping

Till it’s nearly noon.

Shall we wake them

With a merry tune?

They’re so still, are they ill?

Wake up soon. It's nearly noon.

Wake up bunnies!

Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop!

Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop!

Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop!

Hop and stop.
