Salla Day - Brer Rabbit & the Tar Baby lyrics

It's the story of a cottontail And a ploy that came to fail That ol' jump rabbit Cutting capers his habit Brother fox was laying low Sly ol' fellow Hated him dagnabit Wanted to k** that rabbit I'd fancy a hare I want that hare I need that hare I yearn for a hare I demand that hare I wanna tie his hands and feet Drown him all full deep Maybe I'll shoot him Squash him Smush him Cook him He took the time and thought on it Plotted and schemed on it He deliberated on it Contemplated on it Contembilerated on it Fried rabbit Barbeque rabbit Rabbit frica**ee Hasenpfeffer Hasenpfeffer Oh, you wascally wabbit, you I'm gonna make me a tar baby From rags, whatnots and maybe Use some sealing wax I forget the facts Now that ol' sly fox Put the baby in a box ‘til he found a patch o' clover The jump rabbit would pick over The birds were a-twitter Along came the critter What do we have here Said the hare Hey, you there Tar baby just smiled and grinned A toothless childish grin Not a word was said Come on, chum Are you dumb Ol' rabbit he was riled And got a little wild He slaps that guy His paw got stuck In the gooey guck Leave me be I demand you unhand me Tar baby grinned That toothless grin Ol' hare he Hits him again! Both paws stuck fast When at last Ol' fox stepped outta the bushes And the brer hare gulps and blushes I don't wanna give the children a fright You best come back tomorrow night If you wanna know what happens
