[00:00.28]Way back in my childhood
[00:02.14]I heard a story so true
[00:04.06]'Bout a funny bunny stealin' some boo from a garden
[00:06.95]He knew
[00:07.90]His mamma got worried
[00:09.69]She told the bunny one day
[00:11.59]Better watch for the farmer heed what I say or
[00:14.10]He'll blow you away
[00:15.25]Oh he knew his mamma is right
[00:17.35]So why don't he do what she say
[00:19.47]Maybe he just don't dig it
[00:20.82]Or maybe a habit or 'cause he's a rabbit
[00:22.60]Count the crop better stop
[00:24.02]You better stop and hop away
[00:26.53]Out of the garden where carrots are dense I found
[00:29.08]A hole in the fence
[00:30.18]Every mornin' when things are still crawl through the hole
[00:32.75]And eat my fill
[00:34.13]The other rabbits say I'm taking dares and maybe I'm
[00:35.99]Wrong but who cares
[00:37.97]I'm a hooked rabbit yeah I got to cure a
[00:40.85]Habit
[00:40.97]Count the crop yeah everyday I'm tryin' to avoid it
[00:42.88]Count the crop what do I do I know that
[00:44.40]I enjoy it
[00:45.02]Really and true I'm beggin' momma's pardon
[00:46.80]All the time I'm headin' for the garden
[00:48.95]Wee everything is sweet when the farmer's nappin'
[00:52.02]Every little carrot is a stolen delight
[00:53.91]And I keep forgetten' that the thing ain't right
[00:56.00]So one day when I was deep in the meal
[00:57.92]That farmer pulled a big creep and steal
[00:59.84]Came at me with a big shot gun and did
[01:02.12]I runnn
[01:02.97]I hustled really swiftly
[01:05.72]Yeah split from there without a second to spare
[01:09.05]I could hear the bullets fly' through the air
[01:10.58]Now I knew what mamma told me now I knew
[01:12.90]That she would scold me
[01:14.30]She knew what I'd soon be feeling
[01:16.13]If I didn't stop my stealin'
[01:18.19]The farmer he really had sense
[01:20.05]He plugged up the hole in the fence
[01:21.73]Had me runnin' madly through the garden
[01:23.10]Looking for a hole to crawl in
[01:25.22]Hey hey
[01:27.41]You pick up what I say
[01:29.41]Hot head rabbit if you keep your habit
[01:32.24]Your mamma told ya when you hop that if you
[01:34.43]Stop you count the crop
[01:36.09]He gets his beets and guns for you
[01:37.53]Because carrots and you make a very fine stew
[01:39.58]Son he'll catch you on the run so you gotta
[01:41.30]Find a quiet little corner where the farmer never comes
[01:43.23]You got plenty patches so you snuggle in between them

[01:59.72]Itchin' to seal your fate
[02:00.97]Don't ya see him by the hole in the fence

[02:05.00]While he's over by the fence a while away keep
[02:06.63]On running 'til you're outta that gate
[02:08.49]Now the farmer he was pantin to death
