Sleeping Bunnies
Sleeping Bunnies Lyrics
See the little bunnies sleeping till it’s nearly noon
Come and let us gently wake them with a merry tune
Oh how still, are they ill, wake up soon
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
See the little birdy sleeping till it’s nearly nine
Come and let us gently wake them from their nest of vine
Up we climb, just in time, wake up soon
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
See the little alligator sleeping till it’s noon
Come and let us gently wake them with a merry tune
In we creep, while the alligator sleeps, wake up soon
Snap little alligator, snap, snap, snap
Snap little alligator, snap, snap, snap
Snap little alligator, snap, snap, snap
Snap little alligator, snap, snap, snap
Then Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Flap little birdies, flap, flap, flap
Then Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop
Hop little bunnies, hop, hop, hop

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I've been taking my 22months old daughter to playgroup for months now and she loves the bunnies song so much but only problem is I'd never heard of it before cos also I'm partially deaf and cannot catch all the words so felt she was really missing out at home, until I found this page, can't wait to sing & sign it to her

My little girl bridie sings this song and loves it to. She learnt it at childcare in her room and says it's her favorite song. She's trying to teach her 13 month old brother Liam who giggles as she sings it. Ty to the girls for teaching her this unique song.
