    Here Comes Peter Cottontail Lyrics

    Verse One:

    Here comes Peter Cottontail
    Hoppin’ down the bunny trail
    Hippity hoppin’, Easter’s on its way

    Bringin’ every 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

    Verse Two:

    Here comes Peter Cottontail
    Hoppin’ down the bunny trail
    Hippity hoppin’, Easter’s on its way

    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 mornin’
    And you’ll know that he was there
    When you find those chocolate bunnies
    That he’s hiding everywhere

    Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail
    Hoppin’ down the bunny trail
    Hippity hoppity, happy Easter Day

    Hippity hoppity, happy Easter Day
