A story about lovelorn rabbits in Palmerston North.
With a happy ending.

lyrics

Happity skipped and Happity hopped
But Happity couldn’t get over it all
He pricked up his ears
He picked up his feet
But tripped on his tail and everyone saw
The fumbliest stumbliest bunny of all
His feet are too big
And his teeth are too small

Happity Happity Happity Happity
Lives in a burrow in Palmerston North

Happity wished and Happity hoped
That some little bunny would give him a call
Cos all of the rabbits of Manawatu
Were going to go to the Rabbity Ball
His brothers and sisters and uncles and aunts
Were learning the steps to the rabbity dance

Happity drooped and Happity sighed
A rabbity tear fell onto his paw
The onliest loneliest rabbit, he thought
Cos no-one would ask him to go to the ball
He looked out the window and what did he saw
Miss Hippity Hop from the burrow next door

Miss Hippity Hop looked sadder than sad
Her teeth were too big and her feet were too small
She wanted to go but no-one would ask
Miss Hippity Hop to the Rabbity Ball
Then Happity saw that he might have a chance
“Miss Hippity Hop do you know how to dance?”

Miss Hippity Hop said “Why yes I do”
And bunnily showed him a dance step or two
And Happity’s heart went skippity beat
Cos she didn’t notice his very large feet
They danced in the moonlight and everyone saw
Hip Hop and Happity having a ball
