Jennifers Rabbit

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Jennifer slept in her little bed

With dreams of a rabbit in her little head

Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white

Left the house and went to town one night

Along with a turtle and a kangaroo

And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo

They went for a ride on an old street car

They tried to drive it but they didn't get far

They all got tired and decided to go

To see the people in the picture show

Jennifer's rabbit, white and brown

Looked in the windows of the shops downtown

He found a dress for Jennifer to wear

And a pretty blue ribbon for her long blond hair

Then the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo

Bowed to each other like polite folks do

They went to a shop where the cookies are free

And they all had cookies and oolong tea

Then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three

"The hour is growing very late for me."

"Not at all," said the rabbit. "If you give me a chance,

I'll lead all the monkeys in a hula dance!"

So they danced all night and the moon danced too

Then the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo

Jumped into bed and closed their eyes

And were fast asleep before the sun could rise

And Jennifer slept in her little bed

With dreams of a rabbit in her little head
