Answer 1

Little Bunny Foo Foo is a children's rhyme, involving a rabbit harassing a population of field mice. The rabbit is scolded and eventually punished by a fairy.

One of the more popular versions of the song is as follows:

Little bunny, Foo Foo
Hopping through the forest
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head
Down came the Good Fairy and she said,
"Little bunny, Foo Foo
I don't want to see you
Scooping up the field mice
And bopping them on the head."
Another version is

"Little Bunny Foo Foo
Hoppin' through the forest
Scoopin' up the field mice
Bop 'em on the head!
Then the Good Fairy came and said:
'Little Bunny Foo Foo
I don't wanna see you
Scoopin' up the field mice
Bop 'em on the head!
I'll give you 3 chances,
And if you don't behave, I'll turn you into a goon."
Then, the song continues, with field gnomes, field dogs, and field lice, as well as 2 more chances, 1 more chance, and "I am going to turn you into a goon."
The moral to this version is often told as "Hare today, goon tomorrow."

Its melody matches the middle of the Lachrymosa movement of Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem, when the alto voices begin the "huic ergo" section.

This rhyme appears to have been inspired by Bad Sir Brian Botany by A. A. Milne. The line "he went among the villagers and bopped them on the head" is an obvious similarity, the rhythm is substantially shared, and both Sir Brian and Bunny Foo Foo get their comeuppance. Bad Sir Brian Botany can be interpreted as a satire of feudalism.

Regional variants lyrics include: Good Fairy, Fairy Princess, or Little Angel (as opposed to "Blue Fairy") "I don't like your attitude!" (as opposed to "I don't wanna see you!") and/or spelling Little Bunny's name as "Frou Frou" or "Lil' bunnai fu fu". An additional ending, "Little Goon Foo Foo kept hoppin' through the forest..." for a last chorus signifies the opposite of the story's moral intention.

Some variations include calling the bunny a rabbit or substituting "bashing" for "bopping." Some variants also substitute "kissing" for "bopping," as some parents or care givers consider the word bopping too violent for young children. This, however, contradicts the point of the song, which is to not be mean to animals.

"Down came the Vogon spaceship
and this is what he said
I know a poem about lagomorphs

In amongst the polyps
and pubic dead skin browsers
Come here little bunnykins
and jump on my big shiny rock
and when the party's is over
I'll throw you out the airlock
