Dirty Bunny
Dirty Bunny
Bunny would not take a bath,
Bunny would not take a bath,
He would not take a shower.
He would not take a shower.
He just loved sittin' in the dirt
He just loved sittin' in the dirt
Just like a tree or flower.
Just like a tree or flower.
But soon he got so dirty
But soon he got so dirty
That he started takin' root
That he started takin' root
He said, "I'd better take a bath
He said, "I'd better take a bath
Before I start growing fruit."
Before I start growing fruit."
Isn't that funny that Runny Babbit got so dirty he thought he might start growing fruit on himself!

And lots of story books.

He looked them over one by one

And guess which one he took-
And guess which one he took-
A science book? A poetry book?
A science book? A poetry book?
Oh no-a comic book!
Oh no-a comic book!
