Here Comes Peter Cottontail - Easter Song | Nursery rhymes & kids songs to sing along

Details

Description

Here Comes Peter Cottontail: I love this Easter song, particularly the Gene Autry version he recorded in 1950. In my classes, I usually sing this song at our annual Easter Parties during bubble time. For this video, my two daughters helped me with the bunny hopping with soft toys and hand puppets, and I play the guitar. Enjoy!

🎤Lyrics to sing along in subtitles / closed captions (CC):

Here comes Peter Cottontail hoppin’ down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppin’, Easter’s on its way
Bringin’ 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

Here comes Peter Cottontail hoppin’ down the bunny trail
Hippity hoppity, happy Easter Day

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

Composed in 1949 by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins
