When we first got you, you fit inside the palm of this one hand
And I would hold you and tell you things and you would understand
And I have watched you grow and get so large
That now you’re nearly half my size my friend
We go down to the supermarket every other day
The grocer gives us the old vegetables he would have thrown away
But you don’t seem to mind at all
You nibble them all up and you seem happy anyway
So, good night, rabbit
I’m so glad you came to be my friend
Goodnight Rabbit
I will be your friend until the end
Daddy cursed and got all sweaty on he day he made your cage
When they get angry, the grownups sometimes make me feel afraid
That’s why I love your soft white fur
And in your belly I can hide my face
So, good night, rabbit
I’m so glad you came to be my friend
Good night, rabbit
I will be your friend until the end
They tell me, “Be a big boy.”
And they tell me not to cry
You don’t ever tell me anything
That’s what I like
Tonight they sat me down and I knew right away something was wrong
Mommy and Daddy said they’re sorry but they just don’t get along
They say we need to be “practical”
But I don’t know what that word means
But I promise you that even when I grow to be that old
“Practical” is something I will just refuse to be
So goodbye, rabbit
When morning comes we’re giving you away
Goodbye, rabbit
Maybe I’ll come visit you some day
Good night, rabbit
Fuzzy little friend I called my own
Good night, rabbit
I will come and find you when I’m grown
