Little Rabbit Foo Foo Little rabbit Foo Foo, hopping through the forest, Scooping up the field mice, and bopping them on the head, And down came the good fairy, and she said, "Little rabbit Foo Foo, I don't want to see you Scooping up the field mice, and bopping them on the head." "I'll give you three chances, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day... (repeat the verse) "I'll give you two more chances, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day... (repeat the verse) "I'll give you one more chance, And then I'll turn you into a goon." But the very next day... (repeat the verse) "I gave you three chances, So now I'll turn you into a goon." - Zap! The moral of the story is: "Hare today; goon tomorrow." Actions: Little rabbit Foo Foo...: use two fingers as rabbit ears, hop your hand across in front of you Scooping up the field mice: scoop up an invisible mouse, bop it on the head Good fairy: wave arm as if holding a magic wand I don't want to see you: wag index finger back and forth as "no" 4 10.
