The Yetties - Rabbit lyrics

Artist: The Yetties

album: Singing All The Way


In Dorset, where I was born and bred
Father kept us all well fed
We didn't have no ham, nor anything like lamb
But Father went rabbiting instead
As soon as we were weaned, we had rabbit
Our plates were always cleaned, we had rabbit
There was; fried rabbit, dried rabbit, roasted rabbit, toasted rabbit
Baked rabbit, staked rabbit, rabbit soon became a habit
Father he would leave the house, in search of pheasant, deer or grouse
But all we ever had was rabbit
Though we knew that he was going poaching
On someone else's land he'd be encroaching
We'd cheer him on his way, shout hip hip hooray
Because we knew that dinner was approaching
So every week day, we had rabbit,
Hot day, cold day, bleak day, we had rabbit
There was; boiled rabbit, broiled rabbit, young rabbit, hung rabbit
Rare rabbit, Brer rabbit, rabbit soon became a habit
Father he would leave the house, in search of pheasant, deer or grouse
But all we ever had was rabbit
At cooking meat my Mother was a wonder
She quickly shifted all of Father's plunder
As fast as she was able, she's slap it on the table
Ready for us kids to tear asunder
In every fry-up, we had rabbit
To fill our pie up, we had rabbit
There was; soused rabbit, dowsed rabbit, tender rabbit, slender rabbit
Fatty rabbit, pattie rabbit, rabbit soon became a habit
Father he would leave the house, in search of pheasant, deer or grouse
But all we ever had was rabbit
Now you may think I looks a little funny
But I can bet you any money
You'd have a twitchy nose and teeth that all stick out
If like me you'd been brought up on bunny
For breakfast, dinner, tea, we had rabbit
Continuously... we had rabbit
There was; old rabbit, cold rabbit, spiced rabbit, diced rabbit
Steamed rabbit, creamed rabbit, rabbit soon became a habit
Curry rabbit, furry rabbit, grilled rabbit, chilled rabbit
Tough rabbit, enough rabbit! Rabbit had become a habit
Father he would leave the house, in search of pheasant, deer or grouse
But all we ever had was rabbit
