I note I am the only vote for "Rabbit". This could be a regional variation because I first learned this song as a counsellor at day camp in Toronto. Note: not, I hasten to add, Girl Scout Camp, nor did it have anything to do with films.

No, you are not. And we are correct, as this is the way I learned it and IIRC the way it was written by Beverly Cleary.

You know, I remember the beginning of "Little Bunny Foo-Foo," but not all the hand gestures and the rest of it. I need a refresher course in childhood songs and nursery rhymes. :/

I used to tell this story to my little sister. She had a bean-stuffed orange rabbit that I used to whack the heck out of, embellishing the story beyond all sense of proportion, propriety, or... sense. Made her laugh like crazy every time. I think she still has that rabbit.

"Little Bunny Montague"? Or some other combination of words?

I love the "Little God Anubis" version, with its own special hand gestures.

I must learn this.

Make the little god Anubis by raising your pointer finger and your pinkie finger (jackal ears) while bringing the two middle fingers down to meet the thumb (jackal snout). Keep the two middle fingers and the thumb as flat and straight as possible, to represent Anubis's long pointy nose.

The rest of the gestures are very similar to the Little Bunny Foofoo version, except for the very last line. At the very last line, point helpfully, with an eager facial expression.

Words are:

Little God Anubis walking down the Nile,
Scoopin' up the tourists and boppin' 'em on the head.
When along came the Good Goddess Isis, and she said:
"Little God Anubis, I don't wanna see you
Scoopin' up the tourists and boppin' 'em on the head.
I'll give you two more chances,
And if you don't stop, wooooooooooooo"

Little God Anubis walking through the temples,
Scoopin' up the tourists and boppin' 'em on the head.
When along came the Good Goddess Isis, and she said:
"Little God Anubis, I don't wanna see you
Scoopin' up the tourists and boppin' 'em on the head.
I'll give you one more chance,
And if you don't stop, wooooooooooooo"

Little God Anubis walking past the pyramids,
Scoopin' up New Agers and boppin' 'em on the head.
When along came the Good Goddess Isis, and she said:
"Missed one!"

*snork*! Oh, that's marvelous!

OMG, that is freaking *awesome*. And you're right, the gesture for Anubis is perfect.

Woo! That's just brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

The gestures are definitely mandatory to my 3-year-old. heehee. :)

I originally learned it with "Bunny" but I have heard "Rabbit," and being an aficionado of traditional folk music, I'm not about to pronounce either one "incorrect." It's just the Folk Process! :)

It's no fun without the gestures, though.

*Sigh* So many adults have no problem telling their kids terrifying stories like this, the rock-a-bye-baby song, nursery rhymes, Bible stories, and Bugs Bunny cartoons, but raise an unholy fuss over violence in the media and/or nudity and/or sex on TV. Hypocrites.
