Lyrics
Old/Original
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny
Whoa, I love the bunny
I don't love my mom or my dad, just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny
Yeah, I love the bunny
I gave everything that I had for the bunny I don't want no health food when it's time to feed
A big bag o' bunnies is all that I need
I don't want no buddies to come out and play
I'll sit on my sofa, eat bunnies all day
I won't go to church, and I won't go to school
That stuff is for sissies, but bunnies are cool
Backup Singers: I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to play on a day that is sunny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny (continues in the background)
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny
Whoa, I love the bunny
I don't love my mom or my dad, just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny
Yeah, I love the bunny!
I gave everything that I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaad...
fo-or the bu-unnyyyyyyy
Current
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny, whoa I love the bunny
I don't love my soup or my bread, just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny,
Yeah I love the bunny
I gave everything that I had for the bunny
I don't want no health food when it's time to feed
A big bag o' bunnies is all that I need
I don't want no buddies to come out and play
I'll sit on my sofa eat bunnies all day
I won't eat no beans, and I won't eat tofu, That stuff is for sissies, but bunnies are cool!
Backup Singers: I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to play on a day that is sunny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny (continues in the background)
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny, whoa I love the bunny
I don't love my soup or my bread, Just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny,
Yeah I love the bunny I gave everything that I ha-a-a-aaad fo-or the bu-unnnyyyy!!
New and Improved
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny, whoa, I ate the bunny
I didn't eat my soup, nor my bread, just the bunny
The bunny the bunny, oh, I ate the bunny
And now I'm feeling sick in the head from the bunny
I didn't eat my salad, I didn't eat my steak I had too much candy
Got a tummy ache I need to eat good food to help me to grow
I'll obey my momma cause she told me so
Yeah I'll go to church and I'll go to school That stuff is important and I ain't no fool
Backup singers: I don't want no pickles, I don't want no honey, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny
I don't want to play on a day that is sunny, I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny (continues in the background)
(During the bridge, Mr. Nezzer is trying to stop the backup singers, but they don't pay attention. Like this: No, no, no, no, girls! No, that's wrong! I learned my lesson! Oh, you're gonna get tummy aches! Now, you stop singing that stuff! Listen here, girls! Oh, no!)
Mr. Nezzer: The bunny, the bunny, whoa, I ate the bunny,
I didn't eat my soup or my bread, just the bunny
The bunny, the bunny, oh I ate the bunny, and now I'm feeling sick in the hea-aa-aa-aad, from the bu-unnnyyyy!!
Reprise
Mr. Nezzer: I've tried to be patient, I've tried to be kind
Can you tell me what the trouble is? Am I losing my mind?
Now I didn't ask for much, just one simple little thing.
Didn't ask you to part the waters, I just wanted to hear you siiiiiiiiing!
I gave you hats, I gave you ties, I let you eat my bunny!
And this is how you repay me? Come on boys, do you think it's funny?
Well I would laugh, your fate is sealed, you're paying for that crime
But to show you what kinda guy I am, I'll ask you one more time
Will you, or will you not, sing the song?
Fun Facts
- This song is infamous for being the center of a long-term controversy upon Rack, Shack & Benny's initial release. According to Phil Vischer, this song was originally meant to be bad so kids wouldn't sing it. However, soon after the episode's release, parents began lashing out at Big Idea with letters alleging their children had been singing the song. Thus, the following changes were made:
- 1. A "New and Improved" version that kids can sing for their first sing along video was written.
- 2. The lyrics for the song on the Rack, Shack & Benny episode were rewritten for future releases.
- A little snippet of this can be heard in Twas The Night Before Easter.
