Cottontail (Remaster) - Lambert Hendricks & Ross/Hendricks & Ross[00:00:00]
Way back in my childhood[00:00:00]
I heard a story so true[00:00:02]
'Bout a funny bunny stealin' some boo from a garden[00:00:03]
He knew[00:00:06]
His mamma got worried[00:00:07]
She told the bunny one day[00:00:09]
Better watch for the farmer heed what I say or[00:00:11]
He'll blow you away[00:00:14]
Oh he knew his mamma is right[00:00:15]
So why don't he do what she say[00:00:17]
Maybe he just don't dig it[00:00:19]
Or maybe a habit or 'cause he's a rabbit[00:00:20]
Count the crop better stop[00:00:22]
You better stop and hop away[00:00:23]
Out of the garden where carrots are dense I found[00:00:26]
A hole in the fence[00:00:28]
Every mornin' when things are still crawl through the hole[00:00:30]
And eat my fill[00:00:32]
The other rabbits say I'm taking dares and maybe I'm[00:00:34]
Wrong but who cares[00:00:35]
I'm a hooked rabbit yeah I got to cure a[00:00:37]
Habit[00:00:40]
Count the crop yeah everyday I'm tryin' to avoid it[00:00:40]
Count the crop what do I do I know that[00:00:42]
I enjoy it[00:00:44]
Really and true I'm beggin' momma's pardon[00:00:44]
All the time I'm headin' for the garden[00:00:46]
Wee everything is sweet when the farmer's nappin'[00:00:48]
Every little carrot is a stolen delight[00:00:51]
And I keep forgetten' that the thing ain't right[00:00:53]
So one day when I was deep in the meal[00:00:55]
That farmer pulled a big creep and steal[00:00:57]
Came at me with a big shot gun and did[00:00:59]
I runnn[00:01:02]
I hustled really swiftly[00:01:02]
Yeah split from there without a second to spare[00:01:05]
I could hear the bullets fly' through the air[00:01:08]
Now I knew what mamma told me now I knew[00:01:10]
That she would scold me[00:01:12]
She knew what I'd soon be feeling[00:01:14]
If I didn't stop my stealin'[00:01:16]
The farmer he really had sense[00:01:18]
He plugged up the hole in the fence[00:01:19]
Had me runnin' madly through the garden[00:01:21]
Looking for a hole to crawl in[00:01:23]
Hey hey[00:01:25]
You pick up what I say[00:01:27]
Hot head rabbit if you keep your habit[00:01:29]
Your mamma told ya when you hop that if you[00:01:32]
Stop you count the crop[00:01:34]
He gets his beets and guns for you[00:01:35]
Because carrots and you make a very fine stew[00:01:37]
Son he'll catch you on the run so you gotta[00:01:39]
Find a quiet little corner where the farmer never comes[00:01:41]
You got plenty patches so you snuggle in between them[00:01:43]
Dig what I mean I gotta tell you that'll keep[00:01:45]
You eatin[00:01:46]
Run ya rabbit run now you had your fun[00:01:46]
Run before you feel the shot gun run on run[00:01:50]
Well now while you're in a panic you're forgettin' the[00:01:53]
Garden gate all you got to do around is lay[00:01:55]
Around and wait[00:01:57]
Right now the farmer thinks he gotcha he really is[00:01:57]
Itchin' to seal your fate[00:01:59]
Don't ya see him by the hole in the fence[00:02:00]
You can beat him it's a natural sense[00:02:02]
While he's over by the fence a while away keep[00:02:04]
On running 'til you're outta that gate[00:02:06]
Now the farmer he was pantin to death[00:02:08]
He never figured he was out gunnin'[00:02:10]
That a while that he was catching his breath[00:02:11]
He woulda needed it to out run him[00:02:13]
Maybe you remember what you're mom told ya[00:02:15]
Maybe take a beating let your pa scold ya[00:02:17]
So hit the gate better be ready to wail[00:02:18]
And when you do you show the man your tail[00:02:20]
Wi woo hurry up before you change your plan[00:02:22]
Wi woo better run from the farmer man[00:02:23]
Wi woo ooo you best make tracks[00:02:25]
Wi woo you dog gone pesky hare[00:02:27]
Wi woo head for home bro[00:02:28]
