The Lyrics
Happy Chinese New Year and welcome to the Year Of The Rabbit! Let's hope that by this time next year we're not saying "Kill Da Wabbit!". The original song has no connection whatsoever. Sammy Davis Jr. sang it in the original Ocean's Eleven. Altogether, it's been a hare-raising experience! ;D
Oh have a great Chinese New Year
And consult their Zodiac,
(Year Of The Rabbit - The Metal Rabbit)
Because our small furry buddy
Once again has now come back.
(Year Of The Rabbit - reach out and grab it!)
Wishing you bunny cheers! Without this year's
Costello without Abbott!
Once again love - it's the Year of...
Year Of The Rabbit! Such is the habit. The Metal Rabbit!
Their Zodiac has diff'rent signs
And my wife's is the Ox of course. (Real force!)
And by Chinese designs
I'm born in the Year Of The Horse. (Remorse?)
We're lucky we're not The Monkey,
Or The Snake, The Pig, The Rat.
(Year Of The Rabbit! The Metal Rabbit!)
Confucius say - he's so funky -
"Better you should be a cat".
(Year Of The Rabbit! Don't like it? Stab it!)
If Sinclair Lewis minds - had named the signs,
We'd be Dodsworth or Babbitt!
But they didn't - and so we're caught in
Year Of The Rabbit!
Squee dop whee dop dool ya doo whaa!
The last line is not Mandarin (which JAB and TT probably speak fluently...lol). It's scat singing. Also, the Metal is one of their elemental signs like earth and water...I wasn't talking about a rabbit who's into heavy metal rock! ;D

Okay, who's the punk voting down a song dedicated to my zodiac animal?
I "hopped" on this song's bandwagon with 555 carrots!
Thanks for your compliments on all three entries. ;D
