[Chorus]
Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity, happy Easter Day

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Here comes Peter Cottontail
Hoppin' down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppin', Easter's on its way
