Here Comes Peter Cottontail    (1949)

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping' down the bunny trail
Hippity, hoppity Easter's on its way
Bringing' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy
Things to make your Easter bright and gay

He's got jellybeans for Tommy
Colored eggs for sister Sue
There's an orchid for your Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity
Happy Easter day

Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping' down the bunny trail
Look at him stop, and listen to him say:
"Try to do the things you should."
Maybe if you're extra good
He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those chocolate bunnies
That he's hiding everywhere
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail
Hopping' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity
Happy Easter day

Lyrics by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins.
Recorded by Mervin Shiner; Gene Autry.
