Here comes Petter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on it's way.
Bringin' ev'ry girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay.
He's got jelly beans for Tommy, Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There's an orchid for your Mommy And an Easter bonnet, too.
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity, Happy Easter day.
