Bunny Pokey Sung to: "Hokey Pokey"
You put your bunny ears in
(Place hands on head to make ears)
You put your bunny ears out.
You put your bunny ears in.
And you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny Pokey
And hop yourself around,
That's what it's all about!
Additional verses: "You put your bunny nose in, You put your bunny tail in,
You put your bunny paws in"

The Easter Bunny Song
Oh, the Easter Bunny's coming, she's the one I long to see.
She's got eggs in her basket, she's bringing them to me.
I'm looking out the window and I hope she gets here quick,
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.

Oh, I love Easter Sunday and it comes round every year
Right now I'm so excited cause the Easter Bunny's here!
The Easter eggs are lovely, with swirls on them because,
The Easter Bunny paints them with her little furry paws.

We'll take the eggs and hide them, all up and down the hill,
And I'll go back to find them with my little brother, Bill.
We will pile up all the goodies and I'll eat all I can take,
And then end Easter Sunday with a big old belly ache.

Now sing briskly:
Oh, the Easter Bunny's coming, she's the one I long to see.
She's got eggs in her basket, she's bringing them to me.
I'm looking out the window and I hope she gets here quick,
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
I need marshmallow bunnies and a little chocolate chick.
