in a red -hot skippin' jaw
I said a dog chased a rabbit
in a red -hot skippin' jaw
Well, the hunter tried to shoot him,
but he hid behind a stalk
He said, Oh, Mr. Dogwood,
He cried, Oh, Mr. Dogwood,
I'll have a bone for you next time
He said, Hey, Mr. Rabbit,
I've heard that line before
He said, Hey, Mr. Rabbit,
So you better start running,
cause I ain't gonna let you go
They went hop, skip, and jump
They ran from storm to storm
I said hop, skip, and jump
They ran from storm to storm
Well the dog was a -gainin'
and his heart went bobbin' and bobbin'
in your red hot skippin' jaw
I said, the dog is a -rattlin'
Well, the hunter tried to shoot him,
but he hid behind a stump
He went hop, skip, and jump,
then ran from stump to stump
I said, hop, skip, and jump,
then ran from stump to stump
Well, the dog was a -gainin'
and his heart went bumpity,
It went hop, skip and jump,
the red bob starved the star
I said hop, skip and jump,
the red bob starved the star
Well, the dog was a -ginnin'
and his heart went burpin'
