Peter Cottontail [1950] Songtext
von Gene Autry

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


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
