[All sing together] Little Bunny Boo Boo was hoppin' through the garden, lookin’ for a carrot or a lovely lettuce head.

[Spoken by leader] Out came the farmer, and he said: (scolding!) Little Bunny Boo Boo I don't want to see you hopping through my garden and eating up my food. And if you keep it up, I’m going to chase you away with my big hoe.

But the very next day . . .

[Spoken by leader] And out came the farmer and he said: Little Bunny Boo Boo I don't want to see you hopping through my garden and eating up my food. And if you keep it up, I’m going to chase you away with my big hoe. But the very next day . . .

[Spoken by leader] And once again the farmer came out and he said: Little Bunny Boo Boo I don't want to see you hopping through my garden and eating up my food. I’ll give you one more chance And if you keep it up, I’m going to chase you away with my big hoe.

But the very next day . . .

[Spoken by leader] And once more the farmer came out and he said: Little Bunny Boo Boo I don't want to see you hopping through my garden and eating up my food. So he picked up his big hoe and chased Little Bunny Boo Boo All the way back into the woods.
