Songs/ Rhymes
If you’re hoppy and you know it, hop around
If you’re hoppy and you know it, hop around
If you’re hoppy and you know it
And you really want to show it
If you’re hoppy and you know it, hop around.
…hop around
…shake your tail
…stomp your feet
…wiggle your nose

 Five little bunnies standing by the door,
one hopped away and then there were four
Four little bunnies sitting near a tree,
one hopped away and then there were three
Three little bunnies looking at you,
one hopped away and then there were two
Two little bunnies enjoying the sun,
one hopped away and then there was one
One little bunny sitting all alone,
 he hopped away and then there were none!

Bunny Pokey (PROF JE J782.42 MCG - #21 @ 1:50 has Hokey Pokey music without lyrics)

You put your bunny ears in you, put your bunny ears out,
you put your bunny ears in and you shake them all about.
You do the bunny pokey and you hop yourself around,
 that’s what it’s all about!
Bunny nose… Bunny tail… Bunny paws… Bunny self...
