Sleeping Bunnies lyrics

See the bunnies sleeping

Till it’s nearly noon

Shall we wake them

With a merry tune?

They’re so still, Are they ill?

Wake up bunnies. Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop.

Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop

Hop little bunnies hop, hop, hop

Hop, hop, hop.

See the monkeys sleeping

Till it’s nearly noon

Shall we wake them

With a merry tune?

They’re so still,

Are they ill?

Wake up monkeys.

Jump little monkeys, jump, jump, jump

Jump little monkeys, jump, jump, jump

Jump little monkeys, jump, jump, jump

Jump, jump, jump.

See the ponies sleeping

Till it’s nearly noon

Shall we wake them

With a merry tune?

They’re so still,

Are they ill? Wake up ponies.
