Origin: I Love a Rabbit

Hi

When my wife was a kid her mom used to sing a song to her with the lyrics:

"I love a rabbitt A crazy, crazy rabbit Hop hop bunny bunny Hop hop bunny bunny Hop hop, ho ho, hop hop..."

You get the idea. The song has sort of a 1930's-1940's novelty song feel to it. I looked it up on the internet and found it listed in a collection of camp songs.

Anyone know the origins of this ditty? My wife now sings it to our 4-year old son, so this is the 3d generation to hear it.

Just curious.

Thanks,

Rich

Sorry - I thought it was a bestiality comment and was curious because rabbits have never struck me as big enough to be interesting - and anyway they run too fast for most folkies !
