Lyrics Jennifer's Rabbit / I Give You The Morning - Tom Paxton
ennifer
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,
And
they
all
built
a
castle
of
the
best
moonbeams,
And
milky
way
streams.
And
there
on
the
sand
where
the
star
fish
play,
The
ship
sailed
in
from
the
moonbeam
bay,
And
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.
Turtle
played
the
fiddle
and
the
rabbit
played
kazoo,
And
they
bowed
to
each
other
as
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
havn'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.
