Whilst I've had Cedric distracted working on the carrot project I've been free to pursue other tasks, so I decided to write a new Bunny Tune called The Old Farm Lane. Now as you know, our pet 2-foot with no fur on the top of his head listens to some pretty obscure stuff, and I caught him listening to something the other day that was recorded 57 years ago, but I liked it, and so I based my song on it.
I will be VERY surprised if anybun can figure out where the inspiration comes from but here are the words
This first bit is spoken rather than sung
This is the story of the Old Farm Lane
Now the Old Farm Lane is where the farmer lives with his dog
The thing is though,
The wild bunnies need to use the lane to reach their food
The farmer lets the bunnies use the lane on one condition
The condition is that all the bunnies are allowed to eat when they reach the farm is grass & weeds
So when a bunny came hopping down the lane the farmer shouts
BUNNY, WHAT YOU BEEN EATING, IF YOU’VE TOUCHED MY CROPS I’LL SET THE DOG ON YOU.
Well I ain’t had no crops replies the rabbit, I just had grass & weeds
That’s ok then says the farmer, you go on through
But as the rabbit hops down the lane he picks up a little speed….
He shouts back to the farmer
He says I fooled you he says I fooled you I ate ALL your veg!!!
Now comes the singing bit
Now The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
The Old Farm Lane don’t you ever stop
Oh The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
If you want to make it get your tail and then you shake it
Watch the farmer and the dog on The Old Farm Lane
Now The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
The Old Farm Lane don’t you ever stop
Oh The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
If you want to make it get your tail and then you shake it
Watch the farmer and the dog on The Old Farm Lane
A,B,C,W,X,Y.ZEE – The dogs in the kennel and he can’t see me
Now The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
The Old Farm Lane don’t you ever stop
Oh The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
If you want to make it get your tail and then you shake it
Watch the farmer and the dog on The Old Farm Lane
I may be right & I may be wrong but the Farmer’s carrots are still long gone
Now The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
The Old Farm Lane don’t you ever stop
Oh The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
If you want to make it get your tail and then you shake it
Watch the farmer and the dog on The Old Farm Lane
I tell you rabbits I’m free from harm I’m hoppin’ off goin’ down the farm
Now The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
The Old Farm Lane don’t you ever stop
Oh The Old Farm Lane is the place to hop
If you want to make it get your tail and then you shake it
Watch the farmer and the dog on The Old Farm Lane
Can anybun guess what 2-foot song inspired it?
