Lyrics - German
(German folk song)
Häschen in der Grube saß* und schlief, saß* und schlief,
armes Häschen, bist du krank,
dass du nicht mehr hüpfen kannst?
Häschen hüpf, Häschen hüpf, Häschen hüpf!
*pronounced “zass”
English Translation – Bunny in the Pit
Bunny in the pit sat and slept, sat and slept,
poor bunny, are you sick
that you can no longer jump?
Bunny hop, bunny hop, bunny hop!
