Peter Cottontail

The song 'Peter Cottontail' narrates how Easter bunny Peter Cottontail brings a basketful of goodies for children on Easter morning. Peter's basket of joy is packed with delightful gifts for everyone. On every Easter morning Peter visits households and hides yummy chocolate bunnies for us to find.

Here are the lyrics of the famous Easter song 'Peter Cottontail' by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins.

Peter Cottontail

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way.

Bringing' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay.
He's got jellybeans for Tommy,
Colored eggs for sister Sue,
There's an orchid for your Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too.

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.

Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Look at him stop, and listen to him say:
"Try to do the things you should."
Maybe if you're extra good,
He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way.

You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those chocolate bunnies
That he's hiding everywhere.

Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.
