Oh John the rabbit, yes ma'am

Got a mighty habit yes ma'am

Jumping in my garden "

Cutting down my cabbage "

My sweet potatoes "

My fresh tomatoes "

And If i live "

To see next fall "

I ain't gonna have "

No trouble at all "



Oh John the rabbit "

Got a mighty habit "

Jumping up in the morning "

Putting on his clothes

His socks and shoes

His shirt and pants "

And if he's ready "

at half past eight "

He can go to school "



and he won't be late"



Oh John the rabbit, yes ma'am

Got a mighty habit yes ma'am

Jumping in my garden "

Cutting down my lettuce "

And all my carrots "

My squash and peppers "

And If i live "

To see next spring "

I ain't gonna have "

A cotton pickin thing"

And if I live "

to see next fall "

I ain't gonna have "

no cotton at all "
