President Carter got into his boat;
Wasn't in a hurry, wanted to float.
Think about the country, think about sin.
Along swum a rabbit, and he tried to climb in.
(spoken) "And what did Jimmy say?"
[Cho:]
"I don't want a bunny wunny in my little row boat,
In my little row boat in the pond.
For the bunny might be crazy and he'll bite me in the throat,
In my little row boat in the pond."
Look at him swimming, look at him fly,
Ears laid back and a gleam in his eye!
Hissing through his front teeth, swimming like a seal!
If you were the President, how would you feel?
You'd prob'ly say,
[Cho:]
President Carter saved the day;
Splashed with the paddle, rabbit swam away.
Jimmy was a hero, felt it in his bones,
Said in the words of John Paul Jones,
[Cho:]
