Look at all the bunnies sleeping til it’s nearly noon,
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
Oh so still,
Are they ill?
Wake up, wake up, wake up little bunnies
Wake up, wake up, wake up little bunnies
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Stop little bunnies, stop, stop, stop.
Variant:
from CD Tickles and Tunes, opens a new window by Kathy Reid-Naiman
See the little bunnies sleeping (children curl up on the floor, pretending to sleep)
‘Til it’s nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them
With a merry tune
Oh, how still!
Are they ill?
WAKE UP SOON!
Hop little bunnies, hop hop hop (clap hands in rhythm as children get up to hop)
Hop little bunnies, hop hop hop
Hop little bunnies, hop hop hop
Stop little bunnies, stop stop STOP! (stop clapping, children freeze)
