Jennifer's Rabbit

(album: Rabbit - 2022)

Jennifer slept in her little bed
With dreams of a rabbit in her little head

Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white
Left the house and ran away one night
Along with a turtle and a kangaroo
And seventeen monkeys from the city zoo
And Jennifer too

They ran through the forest and they all held hands
They came to the ocean with the cookie crumb sands
They called it the sea of the very best dreams
Where they all built a castle of the best moonbeams
And milky way streams

Then there on the sand where the starfish play
The ship sailed in from the moonbeam bay
They all went sailing on the starlight sea
Where they all had cookies with oolong tea
And Jenny had three

They danced on the decks of the red-sailed brig
The monkeys and the sailors did a whirling jig
The turtle played the fiddle and the rabbit played kazoo
And they bowed to each other like polite folks do
And Jenny bowed too

Then, "My!" said the turtle as the clock struck three
"The hour is growing very late for me."
"Not at all," said the rabbit. "And I'll tell you why
We still haven't counted every star in the sky"
Said Jenny "Let's try"

So they counted on the ship and they counted on the shore
They counted through the forest to the bedroom door
They counted in bed till they could count no more
Then they all fell asleep and the final score
Was a trillion and four

Yes the rabbit and the turtle and the kangaroo
And Jenny fell asleep like sleepy folks do
Just like you
