You say you retired. But, no, you were fired!
I warned you, I told you to stop, see?
For you’re in the habit of kissing the rabbit.
You nincompoop, falling for Flopsy!
You’re washed up and finished, a dog in disgrace.
You’re meant to chase rabbits, not nuzzle her face!
No wonder you always came last in the race!
You dunderhead, falling for Flopsy!
.
Perhaps if you begged them they’d let you go back.
You simpleton, falling for Flopsy!
She came from, you know, the wrong side of the track,
all snuffly, cutsie and hopsy.
You can’t love the rabbit, she’s no good for you.
There really was only one thing I could do!
So tell me now, did you enjoy your meat stew?
You idiot, falling for Flopsy!
