lyrics
MISTER RABBIT
Hear, hear, Mister Rabbit!
I wanna talk to you.
Mister Rabbit, Mister Rabbit,
Your ears are mighty long!
Yes bless god they're put on wrong.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Mister Rabbit, Mister Rabbit,
Your coat! It's mighty gray!
Yes bless god it's made that way.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Mister Rabbit, Mister Rabbit,
Your ears are mighty thin!
They're might thin! They're mighty thin na na nah!
Yes bless god they're splittin' the wind.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Mister Rabbit, Mister Rabbit,
Your eyes are mighty red!
Yes bless god I'm almost dead.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Ev'ry little soul must shine, shine.
Are ya diggin' it?!!!
