Lyrics

THEM RABBITS GO DANCIN'
(Clifford Fry, Douglas Sharp)

Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT

They danced in the tulips, tulips
They danced in the roses, roses
They danced on cowslips, cowslips
They wrinkled their noses, noses

Them rabbits hate disco, disco
Them rabbits hate dog and cat fights
Them rabbits love moon glow, moon glow
Them rabbits don't use no flashlights

Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT

Them rabbits paint eggs at Easter
They mix 'em with nog at Christmas
One rabbit fell on his keister
I bet it was the one from Texas

Them rabbits are happy, happy
Them rabbits have birthday presents
Them rabbits are crazy and carefree
Them rabbits are oh so pleasant

Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
Them rabbits go dancin', dancin'
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT
YOU RABBITS STOP THAT
