Little Bunny Foo Foo Lyrics with mp3 recording by Mandy

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

A song about a Bunny who likes to Bop the Field Mice on the Head!

Mandy wrote me,

I grew up singing Little Bunny Foo-Foo…

Little Bunny Foo-Foo

Little Bunny Foo-Foo
went hopping through the forest
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

Down came the good fairy and
said Little Bunny Foo-Foo
I don’t want to see you
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

I’ll give you three chances.
Little Bunny Foo-Foo
went hopping through the forest
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

Down came the good fairy
and said Little Bunny Foo-Foo
I don’t want to see you
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

I’ll give you two chances.
Little Bunny Foo-Foo
went hopping through the forest
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

Down came the good fairy
and said Little Bunny Foo-Foo
I don’t want to see you
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

I’ll give you one last chance.
Little Bunny Foo-Foo
went hopping through the forest
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.

Down came the good fairy
and said Little Bunny Foo-Foo
I already told you to stop
scooping up the field mice
and bopping them on the head.
Poof – your a mouse.

I lived in Colorado for a while so we changed the song.
Instead of the forest it was the summit. Instead of field mice it was geeks. Instead of the good fairy it was the summit county chamber of commerce.

With Love, Mandy

Yesterday Evening I Went Out – A German Children’s Song

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

About a conversation between a rabbit and his possible hunter…

Here’s a German kids song called Yesterday Evening I Went Out, in German, Gestern abend ging ich aus, with it’s English translation and the midi music…

Yesterday Evening, I Went Out

Yesterday evening, I went out
I went to the forest
A little rabbit sat in a bush
He watched me with his little eyes
The little rabbit came near to me
So he could tell me this…

Aren’t you the hunter
Who hunts me down with his dogs?
When the wind game catches me,
Hunter, have you caught me?
When I think of my fate,
My heart aches straight away!

Poor little rabbit, you are so pale!
Don’t go on the peasant’s grass,
Don’t go in the peasant’ s cabbage patch
Or else you pay for it with your skin,
You can spare yourself much misery and pain,
You can be a happy rabbit!

Here’s the original German version…

Gestern abend ging ich aus

Gestern abend ging ich aus,
Ging wohl in den Wald hinaus ;
Saß ein Häslein in dem Strauch,
Guckt mit seinen Äuglein ‘raus,
Kommt das Häslein dicht heran,
Daß mir’s was erzählen kann.

“Bist du nicht der Jägersmann,
hetzt auf mich die Hunde an ?
wenn dein Windspiel mich ertappt,
hast du, Jäger, mich geschnappt
wenn ich an mein Schicksal denk’,
ich mich rect von Herzen kränk’.”

Armes Häslein, bist so blaß !
Geh dem Bauer nicht ins Gras,
Geh dem Bauer nicht ins Kraut,
Sonst bezahlst mit deiner Haut ;
Sparst dir manche Not und Pein,
Kannst mit Lust ein Häslein sein !

Listen to the midi music of Gestern abend ging ich aus!

Many thanks to Ulrike Bernhard for contributing this song, to Maguy Cabrol and Monique Palomares at Mama Lisa’s World en français for the translation from German and to Monique Palomares for creating the midi music . Vielen Dank!

Little Peter Rabbit – An American Children’s Song

Monday, October 10th, 2005

Emma wrote me,

Hi Lisa,

My name is Emma and I thought I would send you a song that I know. It’s called Little Peter Rabbit.

Little Peter Rabbit

Little Peter rabbit got a fly upon his nose
Little Peter rabbit got a fly upon his nose
Little Peter rabbit got a fly upon his nose
So he flicked and it flew away buzz buzz

Powder puffs and curly whiskers
Powder puffs and curly whiskers
Powder puffs and curly whiskers
So he flicked and it flew away buzz buzz

Clever clever Peter rabbit
Clever clever Peter rabbit
Clever clever Peter rabbit
So he flicked and it flew away buzz buzz

I’m not sure if know it, but it’s my fave.

Thank you very much
Love Emma Rowbottom =0)

This song is sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Thanks Emma!
