Lyric

Tick-tick, little paws

On the parquet floor

Pocket watch bounce

At the cellar door

Mister Rabbit’s late

But he’s on his feet

One ear to the wind

And a grin so neat

Hey now, look alive

He’s coming through

Tip-tap, tail-swish

What a thing to do

Hup, hup, don’t blink

He’s already past

Clockwork in his knees

And a silver-fast laugh

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Rabbit steps, make way

Rabbit steps in a hurry

He’s got no time to stay

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Hear that little beat?

Steps in a hurry

He lands on his feet

Sippity-sass, he skims

By the sugar stand

Tea cup, top hat

And a glove in hand

Clarinet says, “Go”

Trumpet says, “Run”

He twirls through the room

Like a spinning sun

Hey now, look alive

He’s coming through

Tip-tap, tail-swish

What a thing to do

Hup, hup, don’t blink

He’s already past

Clockwork in his knees

And a silver-fast laugh

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Rabbit steps, make way

Rabbit steps in a hurry

He’s got no time to stay

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Hear that little beat?

Steps in a hurry

He lands on his feet

Oh, when the midnight plate

Starts turning slow

He’s the first to bow

And the last to go

Bop-bop, he’s gone

To the far side gate

Then back with a wink

At a jaw-drop pace

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Rabbit steps, make way

Rabbit steps in a hurry

He’s got no time to stay

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Hear that little beat?

Steps in a hurry

He lands on his feet

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Rabbit steps, so sly

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Then he’s outta sight

Rabbit steps in a hurry

Oh, what a treat!

Steps in a hurry

He lands on his feet
