ah stoled a look unner my bed jist now,
ah like to have had me a big ole cow,
seems mah fambly of bunny slippers grew,
dere's a buncha bunnies now...oh, mon dieu!!
papa slipper's mighty proud a' hissel',
an' maman, she jist wanna res' a spell,
t'ree pair a' girls and dere's six pair a' boys,
dey look like dey folks, 'cept two's corduroy!!
have nevah had a problem until dis,
ah didna t'ink dey could...well...ya know...kiss,
ah've had dese slippers for quite a few years,
ah'd knowed dis...ah'd kep' 'em apart, dass clear!!
now what am ah gon' do--dis is a mess,
totally bumfuzzled, ah mus' confess,
ah didna t'ink dey could...ah had *no* clue,
bunnies gonna do what bunnies gon' do!!
