Flappie Todd Rundgren

[Verse 1]
It was Christmas morning, 1961
I recall the empty pen where my rabbit pet belonged
And my mother told me don't go in the shed
And if I'd just behave then I'd get something yummy later on
She also didn't know where Flappie was
And said she's ask my dad who was busy in the shed
So I searched for Flappie for an hour or so
All around the lawn and garden and underneath my bed

[Chorus]
But I was sure I locked my rabbit pen
Just like I did every night
And I checked three times just yesterday
When I felt something wasn't right
And I stared at the pen just as if I knew what I know now

[Verse 2]
It was Christmas morning, 1961
Everybody searched for Flappie and my dad, daddy searched as well
By the trees and the water but never in the shed
Because he couldn't be in there so I shook my head
We searched together then we took a break for coffee
Everybody drinking coffee but I didn't have a drop
I thought of Flappie and how cold it was at Christmas
And then I started crying and I couldn't make it stop
